The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was Move to a subpage of Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket. I'm going to be bold and move this to Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket/List of cricketers. Any editor can move this anywhere else. In the interest of keeping cross-namespace redirects to a minimum, I will also delete the resulting redirect. Deathphoenix ʕ 21:40, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of cricketers

This article is just a collection of Wikilinks, conveys no information, and definitely unencyclopedic. See the relevant policy for details. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 20:45, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Duplicates Category:Cricket lists. Tevildo 20:56, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom, hopelessy large and category already exists to deal with it, not likely to assist navigation much. SM247^{My Talk} 01:53, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete redundant with category. MLA 06:34, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
• Discuss further This list is indeed a pain in the proverbial but it is currently being considered by WikiProject Cricket and we had moreorless resolved to keep it and another horrible compendium called List of cricket topics in our WP:CRIC area in case it should ever be of use and someone might want to develop it usefully. I suppose I'm effectively supporting your arguments here but the discussion is at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Cricket#Huge_lists_for_deletion.3F Could you please allow members of the cricket project to consider this before deleting? --Jack 06:54, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Sure. Discussions can also be done here. The AfD debate will remain open at least 5 more days. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 06:59, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep pending resolution of debate among the community for whom this list and others like it may have some purpose. As per Jack. Johnlp 08:04, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
• Move to a subpage of Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket (as suggested by Stephen Turner). I believe that the lists main purpose was to provide a tool for viewing Recent changes to the 4500 or so cricketer articles. It needs to be kept but not in the main article space. -- I@n ≡ talk 08:05, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Cricket-related deletions. -- I@n ≡ talk 11:40, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
• Move as per Ian. It is unnecessary to proceed with the AfD because it has already been discussed at length in WP:Cric and a decision was taken to move it. It is an automatically generated list and is needed to keep track of the changes and new cricketer articles. Tintin (talk) 14:00, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Move How does this not fit the List guide exclusion in the referenced guideline. Ansell 00:18, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
  • It doesn't satisfy the "Information" criteria. A list should contain some coherent information. For example, a list form of this article would contain career statistics of the player. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 15:41, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
• Move per I@n. --Srikeit ^{(Talk | Review me!)} 11:19, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
