A run-of-the-mill priest whose sole distinction appears to be that he plays on the Vatican cricket team, a symbolic organization that has no more standing in professional cricket leagues than does any company cricket team. bd2412 T 03:02, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete This article also has major coat-racking issues. If people want an article on the Vatican Cricket Team, create that article. In addition, he seems not to even be a priest yet, not that it really has much bearing on his notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:30, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete -- Non-notable cricket player for a start-up semi-pro amateur team, which team itself is arguably non-notable per WP:ORG. Of the sources listed in the footnotes, all but two appear to be Vatican-related thus disqualifying them as independent (the mentions of the subject were WP:ROUTINE to trivial in any event).  Of the three remaining independent sources (BBC, The Hindu and Dawn), only one has substantial coverage of the subject, therefore subject fails GNG for lack of in-depth coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources.

 * Do not delete - WikiProject Biography has rated this article as Start-Class on the project's quality scale. Tissueboy (talk) 03:04, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Huh? And what does a WikiProject's evaluation of an article have to do with the notability of the subject?  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 03:13, 3 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete. Only the Dawn article comes remotely close to covering the subject in detail in a reliable source. Neither alone, nor in combination with the mentions in other sources, is that sufficient for GNG purposes. --Mkativerata (talk) 11:43, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete -- I dount that the cricket team is even semi-pro: it looks amateur to me. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:07, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - completely fails WP:CRIN and WP:ATH requirements. His notability as a priest is also virtually non-existent. Just to correct a comment above, this team isn't even remotely semi-professional! Most national cricket teams outside of the ten full members of the ICC, with exception to a few of its associate members, are for the most part amateur teams.  Oh and Tissueboy's reason to keep is the most bizarre argument I've heard in four years on here! Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 16:45, 5 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment - I've now created Vatican Cricket Team and would once again highlight that redirects are cheap. I don't think there's enough for the subject to individually pass WP:GNG but he was asked to meet with the Governor as an international representative of the team; I think his name is a plausible search term and we now have a redirect target.

 * Comment - the Vatican's cricket team most certainly fails WP:CRIN requirements for teams - it's not played representative cricket and isn't even recognised by the International Cricket Council! Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 16:27, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Absolutely. Luckily, though, it passes WP:GNG in spades with significant coverage in major international papers from at least 4 different countries. So the fact that it fails WP:CRIN after that is moot.  St ★ lwart 1 1 1 18:08, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
