Non-notable cricketer, does not meet WP:GNG or the revised version of WP:NOLY, while he did win a medal there were only two teams competing in the event. A search brought up nothing outside of directory listings. Devonian Wombat (talk) 10:14, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

• I created this stub as Terry was the only one of the French Olympic players without an article but I cannot see any potential for expansion. I think the same must apply to all the players who took part in the match. Five of them have already been redirected to Cricket at the 1900 Summer Olympics#Medalists. Those are Arthur Birkett, George Buckley, Francis Burchell, Harry Corner and Alfred Powlesland.

(List withdrawn per suggestion below)

I suggest redirect (per WP:ATD) to Cricket at the 1900 Summer Olympics#Medalists for all of the following, as none of them meet WP:GNG:

• William Anderson (cricketer, born 1859)
• William Attrill
• C. B. K. Beachcroft
• Alfred Bowerman
• John Braid
• W. Browning
• Frederick Christian (cricketer)

• Frederick Cuming (cricketer)
• William Donne (cricketer)
• Robert Horne (cricketer)
• Timothée Jordan
• Arthur MacEvoy
• Douglas Robinson (French cricketer)
• H. F. Roques
• Alfred Schneidau
• John Symes
• Montagu Toller
• Philip Tomalin

If that needs a new AFD, please let me know. Thanks. BoJó | talk UTC 14:03, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

• I generally agree with redirecting these, however some have been expanded, e.g. William Donne (cricketer) (although there doesn't appear to be much, if any, significant coverage there), and I would suggest carefully examining those whose first name we do not know with likely ambiguous initials before doing do, which includes the subject of this AFD and especially Browning (could be William, Walter, etc.). _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 15:58, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

• Delete (see amended !vote immediately below). Fails NSPORT and GNG due to lack of significant coverage. Redirect is not appropriate in this case because of the ambiguity of having just an initial and there are other people named H. Terry who are more notable and/or have articles, e.g. Helen Terry, Harry Terry, Henry Dwight Terry, etc., which means a list of Olympic cricketers would be a surprise target. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 15:56, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

  Redirect Henry John Terry to Cricket at the 1900 Summer Olympics#Medalists; and delete H. Terry as an ambiguous redirect to a surprising target. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 09:56, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

• Change of title. Terry's forenames have been found on the CricketArchive database, also his date of birth, but there is nothing else. Beachcroft's first name was Charles (that is in the article), but we have initials only for Browning and Roques, although the latter shouldn't present a redirect problem. Perhaps we should delete Browning and redirect the rest? BoJó | talk UTC 08:58, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

  Thanks. Maybe just boldly redirect those without substantial content/sources (i.e. more than just the usual database entries and scorecards) following this AFD and PROD/start a new AFD for Browning? _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 10:00, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Agreed. I've removed the list and will redirect all except Browning (new AFD to follow).

Redirect Henry John Terry as above; delete H. Terry as above. BoJó | talk UTC 12:06, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

• Redirect to Cricket at the 1900 Summer Olympics#Medalists Fails WP:GNG, and although he did medal in the Olympics, all competitors here were medalists. There's not really much on him I can find, so redirect is appropriate and a suitable WP:ATD. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 18:58, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
