The result was Speedy Keep (non-admin closure). The notability criteria are met, and consensus cites the nominator's speed in nominating an article for AfD as their first edit, presumeably so soon in accordance with the creation of the account. WilliamH (talk) 00:45, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dennis Yagmich[edit]

"This minor cricketer is included when thousands of other more esteemed Australian first class cricketers who played substantially more big cricket are not deemed sufficiently notable." -- procedural nomination on behalf of User:Redders380 whose rationale this is. I have tidied up his nomination and do not support it. I am neutral. Mattinbgn\^talk 11:42, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, per inclusion criteria at WP:CRIN (also WP:ATHLETE: "Competitors and coaches who have competed at the highest level in amateur sports"). Yagmich played 24 Sheffield Shield matches for Western Australia and later South Australia in the 1970s. In the World Series Cricket SuperTest series, I believe he may have been reserve wicket-keeper behind Rod Marsh (not certain, thats just my recollection). Although probably not all that relevant here, he holds a number of long standing wicket-keeping records for his old club Midland-Guildford. I'm unsure who Redders380 is referring to that has played more big cricket and is still considered non-notable, but I wouldn't have thought that to be the case. —Moondyne click! 12:08, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, clearly notable. Also I think the rationale is refuted by Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions#What about article x?. Hesperian 13:14, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sppedy Keep as per WP:CRIN. 6 years of first class cricket then backup wicketkeeper in a rebel national comp is not even close to being borderline. I wonder what Redders380's beef is? And how many users do an AFD as their first edit? The-Pope (talk) 14:33, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
'Keep: per WP:CRIN and WP:BIO. And to answer the question posed above, how many users do an AfD as their first edit? Mainly the sockpuppets. Ravenswing 17:12, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:BIO and User:Moondyne. Johnlp (talk) 19:21, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, clearly a notable cricketer, having played a number of first-class games. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 23:36, 11 April 2008 (UTC).[reply]
