These articles do not meet WP:INDISCRIMINATE - "merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia." Masses of statistics and excessive detail suitable for cricket biographies and almanacs, not dedicated Wikipedia articles. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 01:38, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This article is merely prosified statistics which do not add anything to an understanding of Keith Miller. Merely being true does not mean something is necessarily fit for inclusion in Wikipedia. His participation as part of the 1956 team is not by any definition a distinct subject worthy of a separate article, but instead born out of the Cricket Insanity which dictated as many forks as possible be created about Australian cricket players.

If someone wants to redirect this to Keith Miller for whatever reason, that's fine by me. As long as this cruft gets removed. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 23:43, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete both as WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Trainsandotherthings puts it well, there is nothing distinct about these 2 years of his career that warrants a separate article. LibStar (talk) 06:25, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Per above and per the Neil Harvey blahblahblah AfD. Exhaustive detail belongs in fandom articles, not wikipedia. JoelleJay (talk) 21:30, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to suitable location in Keith Miller page. Seems clear that the opinion are that these extensive pages should no longer exist, however we should at least save the history by redirecting. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 10:47, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. The person who loves reading (talk) 17:38, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
