List of international cricket centuries by Shakib Al Hasan[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Agreed number of international centuries for a stand alone list is 25. Shakib Al Hasan has only scored 12 while Tamim Iqbal has 18. Suggest merging the information into the parent articles and deleting these lists. – Ianblair23 (talk) 00:32, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep This Article looks likes better with Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket notably guidelines. Not required to comparison with other century. Riazul Islam BD (talk) 12:54, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @Ianblair23: You have mentioned that a list article relating to a cricketer can be accepted if he has scored at least 25 international centuries. Apart from Shakib and Tamim Iqbal there is another article that should be concerned regarding the number of international centuries - List of international cricket centuries by Upul Tharanga Tharanga also has scored only 18 international centuries and when compared to the biographical topics of both Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal, the content in Upul Tharanga's biography is comparatively less. So need to AfD the List of centuries scored by Upul Tharanga before heading into this. Abishe (talk) 09:19, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – I agree entirely with the comments by Ianblair23 and think the list should be deleted. It's too short and if retained (would not perhaps set a precedent for but) would begin a trend for even shorter lists and you would end up with one about someone who scored a single half-century sometime. 25 is a milestone in this context and the minimum of 25 is sensible. Joe Root has reached 24 centuries and his list should be created when he scores his 25th, but not yet. Thanks. Protea caffra (talk) 09:46, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete both, no real need for these, they aren't long enough to warrant a spinout. Szzuk (talk) 10:51, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The extra cricketers added after the afd began should be removed or this might close as a procedural keep. Szzuk (talk) 07:00, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, Szzuk, I'll start afresh with those. Thanks for the heads-up. Appreciated. Protea caffra (talk) 07:07, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Rather than looking to delete only this list, a limit should be introduced for the minimum number of centuries to keep a stand alone list of centuries for a specific cricket player. Currently there are many such lists with different number of centuries in Wikipedia. See List of international cricket centuries by Rohit Sharma, List of international cricket centuries by V. V. S. Laxman, List of international cricket centuries by Mushfiqur Rahim etc. Jumbojelly500 (talk) 04:12, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Jumbojelly500, the minimum is 25 as discussed above. Does that help you? Protea caffra (talk) 23:05, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am adding the three you name to another list for deletion. All under the minimum. Protea caffra (talk) 23:07, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
