Cricket All-Stars Series 2015[edit]

I am also nominating the following related pages:

At the moment we don't know that there is going to be more than just this one "Cricket All-Stars Series", so all the information contained in this article, along with Sachin's Blasters and Warne's Warriors can be supplied at Cricket All-Stars, with the possibility of a split later on, when there is enough subject matter to warrant multiple articles.

Merge all and then redirect all these terms to Cricket All-Stars. None of these pages give any info that isn't relevant to general Cricket All-Stars page, no evidence there will be another tournament other than the 2015 one. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:05, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge all per above. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 19:35, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Sachin's Blasters and Warne's Warriors – these will never be notable as sports teams or clubs as they are basically confected for the purposes of this series. I'm on the fence at the moment about the 2015 series page – I suspect it will probably end up with inadequate coverage to justify the article, but we won't know that until after the event. Aspirex (talk) 02:52, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge the 2015 page with the main one, Delete Sachin's Blasters and Warne's Warriors and if necessary redirect after that. This is unnecessary propagation of non-notable teams. —SpacemanSpiff 03:52, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Note There's another related AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Cricket All-Stars cricketers which covers the two team articles as one, created after these two were nominated here. —SpacemanSpiff 05:00, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the 2015 series page. The official website of the tournament is titled "Cricket All Stars 2015". Cricinfo calls the tournament as "Cricket All-Stars Series, 2015/16". Tendulkar has said there will be more such series across the world in the coming years. When all those leagues (IPL, BBL, CPL) started, I'm sure there was a separate article for the inaugural season along with a main article about the league. So why can't this have one too? 117.192.160.213 (talk) 09:20, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge all per nom is probably the best solution, but certainly delete Sachin's Blasters and Warne's Warriors per Aspirex. Jack | ^{talk page} 13:00, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Cricket All-Stars. Umais Bin Sajjad (talk) 14:21, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep season page, because this is a recurring event, but merge teams. Coderzombie (talk) 18:45, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As the tournament is a world-wide tournament, do not delete it. But as everyone said Merge it. The deletion of this article is not good at all. Also as in 2014 cricket season which added Bicentenary Celebration match, it is good to add this one to the International cricket in 2015-16 page within other tournaments section. Gihan Jayaweera (talk) 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Side comment: "international cricket" has a specific definition, and neither this series nor the Bicentenary Celebration match technically fits it. Aspirex (talk) 08:15, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the season page. I completely agree with 117.192.160.213 that the current series has been officially named Cricket All-Stars Series 2015(according to Cricinfo and the official website). But, since the teams haven't yet gained enough popularity to be notable in Wikipedia, the teams should be merged with the tournament and season page. We should wait and if necessary, we may create the pages again. But, deletion is not an option.TheProudEditor (Chat) 08:52, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge the 2015 page with the main one, and Delete Sachin's Blasters and Warne's Warriors, per SpacemanSpiff. —Vensatry _(Talk) 08:10, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the season page, and Merge Sachin's Blasters and Warne's Warriors into the main page. I completely agree with what TheProudEditor suggested. SWASTIK 25 (talk) 10:34, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as per above. Teams are not notable as stand alone articles and don't play official Twenty20 cricket. PinchHittingLeggy (talk) 17:12, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per ProudEditor. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:30, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Cricket All-Stars. Cricket All-Stars is undoubtedly a very big event, but it is still not sure whether more seasons will be held or not. Bharatiya29 (talk) 11:07, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge the teams into the Cricket All Stars but Keep the season page. Matt294069 is coming 01:35, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
