2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier warm-up matches

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

No need for a separate article for some matches that don't even have ODI status (the fact they don't have ODI status means they will likely get less coverage than a normal ODI match). We don't have separate articles for warm-up matches for more important events e.g. the Cricket World Cup, I believe a separate article was created for World Cup warm up matches a number of years ago, and had consensus to merge back in. There was a brief discussion at Talk:2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier in which two people objected to a future creation of this article, and nobody gave a reason why it needs to exist. Not a valid WP:SPLIT from a start class article, and I'm ambivalent to whether the content should be merged back or just straight deleted (since the matches are just a pre-cursor sideshow to the main qualifier).

 * Comment it's also an unattributed copy of text from the main article, which also violates Wikipedia policy Copying within Wikipedia. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:47, 23 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete Warm Up matches do not need their own article, the content is already being duplicated on the main article and a "Show/Hide" tag can be added.

 * I would delete but think they shouldn't be on the main page as well (the main page is 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier not 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier and related matches that are played around it - they aren't part of the tournament and have no bearing on the outcome, they are just matches. If they need to appear it should be on individual country pages.  It's just a whole lot of irrelevant stuff on a page that already includes a large amount of information.  If they are included, then they presumably should be accounted for the in match counts, the venue lists, the match official used etc. 165.12.252.109 (talk) 00:04, 24 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Comment: I am also nominating the following related pages because they are the same articles prior to previous Cricket World Cup Qualifier events:

 * Delete Agree there is no need for a seperate page. I believe it was created due to the precedent set with previous qualifiers, but as they dont have any status the articles are not needed. For what its worth, I also don't think they should be on the main article. There is a hide tag in place, but it is all still visible on the mobile app and adds clutter.

 * Delete No need for separate pages for any of these nominated. All can be included in the parent article. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 19:23, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
