I nominated this article seven years ago, so here I am again! Jackson fails to meet WP:CRIN as none of his matches for London, the Thursday Club, or Leicester are rated as first-class. It's unlikely retrospective first-class status will be given to these matches. This leaves us with Jackson. Just his first initial and surname are known, not really enough to go on for an article.

Delete - with the lack of biographical information we have there is no prospect of ever being able to develop a full biography so fail any biographical notability potential. We're totally reliant on Haygarth's inclusion of a scorecard in his arbitrary selection of matches to support any inclusion and the matches he played in are clearly never going to be first-class - the article itself is almost deliberately misleading in its claim that they were. Should research ever determine who J Jackson was it would be no problem at all to recreate the article. Blue Square Thing (talk) 09:40, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails GNG. The sports specific guidelines are predicated on the assumption that sources exist for players above a certain level (e.g. various sport rags) - however they are not a good fit for players 200+ years ago. In this case - we don't have sources. Heck - we don't even have a first name. Icewhiz (talk) 08:26, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
