Redirect to List of Nottinghamshire Cricket Board List A players Has played 1 List A game, but while there is some coverage of him playing club matches, none of this coverage is significant. Using a similar precedent to that used by WP:FOOTY where a player with one or a few matches, but no coverage, is redirected/deleted, and a suitable WP:ATD exists here. Nominator should have been BOLD and redirected. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 10:42, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No significant coverage so fails WP:GNG. This trumps the extremely trivial (and arguable fail) of WP:NCRIC, which has proven a very unreliable indicator of suitability for standalone articles. Played one List A match for a cricket board against a minor county – that is plainly not the highest standard of domestic cricket, irrespective of the competition's status. Redirect to a team he played one match for makes little sense, when he played many more for Notts (and Worcs) second XIs, but we obviously don't have a List of Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club second XI players. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 12:56, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete GNG is failed. When a guideline like the circket one has been shown to not at all be predictive of passing GNG, which is really what such guidelines are supposed to do, it needs to be scrapped.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:50, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
