Talk:Henry Ayres

Notability
This article seemed obviously non-notable to me that I added the Proposed Deletion template. But this was removed because of the WP:CRIN. This shook the very foundation of my understanding of Wikipedia! I can't believe that it's notable that a person who played cricket on one occasion for Sussex in 1829 where he scored a duck in one innings and was not out in the other innings is notable enough to have a whole article on Wikipedia. That is surely of such marginal importance in the history of Sussex Cricket Club. Having said that, it might be important to them (that's their business), but not necessasry to everybody else. What's so special about Henry Ayres? I would argue that the nature of cricket in 1829 does not have any relationship with the modern game. There's a perfectly good page about him on the Cricket Archive website for anyone interested in old cricket facts. I thought Wikipedia wasn't supposed to be a mirror? I should add that I support Sussex Cricket Club, but this article really seems unecessary. There must be a limit to Wikipedia! I mean, I was in a traffic jam in London last night for an hour and half. Should that go in? It was pretty notable for me and the hundreds of people stuck in it!

 * Cricketers and politicians get a free pass. Andrew Jones (Australian politician) was elected accidentally, achieved nothing but scorn and derision, and failed ignominiously at the following election and troubled no-one for the rest of his life. Doug butler (talk) 04:02, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
