2006 ICC Champions Trophy squads

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A list of people who participated in a certain event of sports is non-notable as a subject itself; more so, if the event was just an average one in its own category. Whatever useful information the subject carries, i.e. the names of the players, can be easily written in the main article of the sport event itself, which is 2006 ICC Champions Trophy in this case. The list is filled up with trivial DOB of players and the lead tells nothing about the topic "players"  but just about the parent topic of "event". I would have boldly redirected it to the main article, like it did few other forks of this 2006 trophy. But the article is one of the best lists we host on WP, (the FLC review was done in 2006 and was quite a short one. In 2014, we have bigger ITN and DYK discussions), and hence brought it to AfD for views of more editors. §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {T/C} 10:06, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep, the amount of information contained in this article (and plenty of other similar ones) would swamp the parent article, but still adds a good deal of detail. WP:OTHERSTUFF shouldn't be used in deletion discussions, BUT deleting this article would set a dangerous precedent across all sports.  Harrias  talk 17:30, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
 * The amount of information is mostly indiscriminate. I am sure DOBs have remotely got anything to do with the players. Not in a single line is any relevance; like young batsman are better than young bowlers or whatever, is made. So that column is useless. Same with "First class team". Although ODIs, bowling/bating style is bit relevant with the sportsman, its not necessary to be displayed there and if that is why stop there? There is plenty paraphernalia to tabulate. §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {T/C} 04:26, 10 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep Easily meets WP:SAL - a notable list of individuals all competing at a notable event. If you disagree on its current FL status, then you can request it to be reviewed, instead of bringing it to AfD.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 18:43, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Am least interested in it's quality status. If something like that is considered the best by this community then so be it. But certainly the notability of the topic is questionable. §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {T/C} 04:26, 10 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Snow keep decent references, perfectly suitable fork, and a word of advice to the nominator, please choose your AfDs more wisely, this is not doing you any favours. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:54, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Why do I need favours? §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {T/C} 04:26, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
 * You may be aware of The Boy Who Cried Wolf? Eventually these kinds of badly formed proposals will be summarily dismissed.   The Rambling Man (talk) 16:28, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Aah! You make me appear like a deletionist and that too without any supporting proofs. And its not a "suitable fork" but more of a WP:REDUNDANTFORK. §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {T/C} 12:30, 15 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep – per Harrias, Lugnuts and The Rambling Man. --Khadar Khani (talk) 18:56, 9 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Snow keep – Legitimate fork. Also if we were to delete this article, it would set a similar precedent to other sports as Harrias says. In that case, you may also want to target articles like this. &mdash; Vensatry (ping) 16:32, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
