[edit] Famous cricketers from Mumbai

Famous cricketers from Mumbai (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Nomed for deletion as per WP:OR. There is an article already called Mumbai cricket team which can contain this info. There is no need of a separate article for "famous" cricketers. -- ¿Amar៛Talk to me/My edits 10:52, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

  • 'Delete. There is also a Category:Mumbai cricketers in addition to the Mumbai cricket team for this sort of thing. Tintin 12:22, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. I have no particular opinion on whether to keep this, but I would like to point out that this is not redundant with respect to Mumbai cricket team. Not all players from Mumbai play or played for that team, and not all players for that team are from Mumbai. Phil Bridger (talk) 14:18, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
  • I think we should avoid loose ended articles like this, which are open to interpretation. Firstly, definition of the term famous itself is a POV, secondly from Mumbai can be interpreted in the way any one wants, does that mean born in Mumbai or residing in Mumbai or stayed for 10 years in Mumbai but played elsewhere or born elsewhere but played for Mumbai in Ranji trophy. -- ¿Amar៛Talk to me/My edits 14:40, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Suggestion: Both this article and Mumbai cricket team should be merged/renamed as Cricketers from Mumbai.Vice regent 21:12, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Sorry, but it seems that I have to repeat myself. Cricketers from Mumbai and the Mumbai Cricket Team are two completely unrelated things, just as Footballers from Madrid and Real Madrid Football Club are completely unrelated. Phil Bridger (talk) 00:01, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Category:Mumbai cricketers already exists and is sufficient to categorise all crickets from Mumbai, or who have played for Mumbai. (You could have 2 different cats for the two different types). A list of "famous" anything if not well defined, is always subject to a person's POV. - Aksi_great (talk) 08:03, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Category:Mumbai cricketers is a better way of organizing this inofrmation. utcursch | talk 11:24, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - lists of this kind are on no value unless there are red links for article that are needed, but check they are all in the category first. Peterkingiron (talk) 23:09, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
