T20I Header Stats
Jos Buttler has made 66 appearances for England in T20Is and I believe it should be added to his career stats in the header. Thoughts?


 * The long term consensus is that we tend to use Test, ODI, FC and LA unless there is a clear case where T20I is preferable. In Buttler's case, he's played >200 LA matches and less than 75 T20I - so I'm generally of the opinion that the long term consensus that we stick to the four standard columns would apply. This has been discussed on the infobox talk page - you may have the check the archive - and at the cricket project (where you'll definitely have to wade through the archive). A compromise was arrived at whereby common sense could be used to figure out if T20I should be included or not - so, for example, someone like Andrew Tye it actually makes sense to exclude the FC stats - but this is very rare. I'd say Buttler is close to using T20I on, but I'd be interested to see other opinions before we make that change - so I'll softly revert for now to give you a chance to read the background info on all of this.

Still a GA?
Is this really still a GA standard article? It hasn't been updated with significant text since 2022, there are numerous sentences of unsourced text, some of the teams listed in the infobox aren't mentioned in the text at all (e.g. Paarl), or with more than one sentence (Originals). Also, the T20 franchise sections have way too many headers for one paragraph, which aren't needed, and looks to be bordering towards IPL excessive stats and focusing only on incidents too, rather than encyclopedic, WP:NPOV content. If this were to be re-assessed, I believe it would fail GA right now, but happy for people to work on improving this article instead of putting it up for GA review.

 * It's far too "unstable" and ref bombed to be anywhere near GA. Given he is an active player, it's just not worth the constant hassle of updating and reverting to even get the article anywhere close to GA again. Think a GA review would be the best action. AA (talk) 13:45, 1 March 2024 (UTC)


 * I have started a GA re-assessment discussion: Good article reassessment/Jos Buttler/2. Anyone is free to contribute there. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:41, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
