[edit] Importance

What has this fellow done to rate a biographical entry. Just playing on a sports team by itself is not enough. StudierMalMarburg 21:31, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

  • In that case, there are literally thousands of articles on football and baseball players which are ripe for deletion. This fellow's notability is that he has played cricket in his national representative team, that is, played the sport at the highest level. Admittedly, the national team of Oman is not a world powerhouse in cricket, and only 15 cricketers from that country have articles, all of them brief. Perhaps a better idea here is to have two articles Omani Cricketers (current) and Omani Cricketers (past), with the non-qualified title Omani Cricketers being a redirect to the "current" article. But I wouldn't agree that this and the other 14 articles should be discarded outright. Darcyj 05:15, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
