Talk:Kapil Dev as Indian national cricket coach

Merger suggestion
I think this is a good article, but it should be a section within the Kapil Dev biographical piece rather than a separate piece. Any encyclopedia user looking for this information is very unlikely to search under this title: they would look under Kapil Dev, or under Indian national cricket team.

 * No they wouldn't but, there is a summary of the coaching, and a link to this page, per Summary style. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 01:33, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I created the page because the size of the Kapil Dev Wiki page was getting large. As Blnguyen points out, there is a summary of his coaching credentials in the main page along with a link to this page. Kalyan 14:16, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, all right. I see why you did it, but I just think it's a bit odd to have a slice of someone's life story in a separate article. But then I don't have a problem with long articles if they're good articles full of interesting information, which the Kapil Dev one is. Johnlp 11:09, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

GA Passed
I'm very pleased with this article's coverage of Kapil Dev's time as coach, plentiful citations, and quality of prose. After adding some wikilinks to help our non-cricket obsessed readers, I have only three issues. Two involve the lead:
 * it is much too long with unneeded details for a summary and some sort of context should be provided about who Kapil Dev was before and, hence, why anyone would want to make him coach.
 * added context of his achievements prior to coaching stint. --Kalyan 06:59, 19 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Also, there are no citations in the lead. I know the facts stated appear later cited in the article, but I think they should be cited in the lead as well. I'm a bit confused on this point since I've seen GA articles with uncited leads and without...let's cite them unless someone has some consensus to tell me about.
 * I think citations is not necessary for lead section articles if statements made here can be validated in the main article. If there is any such statement, you need validation - buzz me and i shall add the same. --Kalyan 06:59, 19 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Finally, the table in the Legacy section needs a citation. That's all...
 * Done. Added. --Kalyan 06:59, 19 July 2007 (UTC)


 * maybe add a few more wikilinks to cricket terms.
 * need help from you in finding terms that you require wikilinks for. i had a go at the article on the same. --Kalyan 06:59, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Yo yo...this aritcle's been on hold for 5 days. Only two more days left and I have to fail it, I think. --Meowist 19:06, 18 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Made it in the nick of time, i suppose. please let me know if all is well with the addressal of the comments. --Kalyan 06:59, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Cool. I'm pleased with the changes made to the article and am passing it --Meowist 17:22, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Article doesnt say what Kapil did for strategy or player selection. This is missing. It only lists the final result of the team — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sachinator (talk • contribs) 01:53, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
