Questionable notability, one Google result that leads to a Wikipedia userpage. Cricket matches the team has participated in are non-notable as well, does not meet WP:N or WP:CRICKET notability criteria. JetLover (talk) (Report a mistake) 04:03, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete Not at all a notable cricket league, utterly devoid of coverage in reliable sources. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 04:16, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Do Not Delete Sources have been added to the article. Cricket is an upcoming sport in Singapore with a lot nationals looking for information resources on the game and its teams in Singapore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tosuddhu (talk • contribs) 05:21, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Note. I've stricken out the superfluous "do not delete" !votes by Tosuddhu. Deor (talk) 12:31, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
  • There should be an article on cricket in Singapore. This isn't it though, despite the charming enthusiasm of the participants. Nick mallory (talk) 05:52, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Do Not Delete From the points above two things seem to be the concerns for deletion of this article. I would like to contest both:
  1. The facts are not proven: All the sources mentioned in the article are independent sources with utmost credibility. Most of the facts can be verified from the Official Website of the Singapore Cricket Association, which is the governing body of Cricket in Singapore and an affiliate member of ACC (Asian Cricket Council) and ICC (Internation Cricket Council). It would be a mockery of these institutions if someone were to contest the validity of data/claims on this article
  2. The article is not useful: It would have been great if an article were to be written on Singapore Cricket, but an absence of it should not be a reason to disallow teams/clubs taking cricket forward in Singapore from disemminating information on the sport. Moreover, with there is ample information already published on wiki on sports clubs and teams. If they can be allowed to use wiki as a compendium of information on their team and the sport, why can this artice not allowed to be published ?

Thanks! --Tosuddhu (talk) 07:48, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
