 * Comment Oy vey. When will this end? This is becoming a witch hunt against myself, Lugnuts, AA, and 02blythed. Those of us who, surprise surprise, are putting in the legwork regarding article creation. How are people randomly happening upon these articles? You do realize there are other articles in Category:Kalat cricketers too? Seems suspicious that you'd stumble upon this one and this one alone. Just get rid of them all. Delete facts for the sake of deleting facts. Better still, expand articles that need expansion, such as the dozens of Test and ODI cricketers that are basically naught but infoboxes. Dozens of them still have no references at all, let alone references to CI and CA alone. Bobo. 20:51, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Yep, something is wrong with this editor. He is constantly removing a file I uploaded from a article without any explanations. Human (talk) 06:23, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
 * That's not the issue at hand here. With all the best will in the world, there are more fundamental issues than this. Bobo. 06:28, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree, this is becoming a bit suspicious. It’s really silly because we’re all sat at home, this would be a good time to cooperate not have a civil war. This could easily have easily been nominated after the RFC when could a have a rewritten WP:CRIN.CreativeNorth (talk) 12:37, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
 * At best, this thread is unseemly. See WP:ASPERSIONS. Thanks. wjematherplease leave a message... 12:31, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry for this. I apologise for acting in bad faith. Thanks. CreativeNorth (talk) 12:37, 28 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Kalat cricket team where every man who played in either of the team's first-class matches (yes, it played two matches) is already listed. I suppose that list might be expanded a tad with some biographical detail, but it's better to have a list of names than nothing else. I'd also support redirecting Abdul Jabbar (Kalat cricketer), Abdur Razzaq (cricketer), Nasim Ahmed (cricketer), Usman Bhagat, Abdur Rehman (Kalat cricketer), Faiz Aftab, Iftikhar Ahmed (Kalat cricketer), Shaukat Ali (cricketer) and Sattar Bhagat. In all cases the only cricket matches we have any idea about them ever playing are the match(es) they played for Kalat. Inevitably, one of the two we don't see to have an article on (Nasir Valika) played 138 first-class matches... Blue Square Thing (talk) 21:58, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
 * As long as this list is complete. The whole point of the irony of this situation is that I intentionally didn't write articles on the players with seven hundred million appearances as they would probably have been more notable for their achievements with other clubs. As you say, it's ironic in these situations how the AfD addicts only happen upon a single article when there are millions available. Almost suspicious... Bobo. 22:47, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I think it is now - could you check it for me? If it is I'll take a look at developing things little more. Blue Square Thing (talk) 23:10, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I think so. It's late and I may have missed something but I think it's all there. Bobo. 23:13, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks - I'll get on to it whilst I listen to the commentary from NZ... Blue Square Thing (talk) 23:15, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
 * It's weird how people have gone from, "No Bobo, it's not necessary to have List of X cricketers lists" to making us say, "These are necessary". I don't mean you, BST. Bobo. 23:18, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm losing touch - the list is done though. Found one more. Naturally the one who played 8 ODIs... Blue Square Thing (talk) 00:00, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Better to lose touch than to lose interest... Bobo. 00:11, 27 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete or weak redirect to Kalat cricket team. Fails all meaningful notability guidelines. NCRIC only provides a very weak presumption of notability for domestic cricketers and by consensus is unreliable, so GNG (and/or a different SNG) must be met. The only sources we have are databases which do not establish notability per SPORTCRIT. wjematherplease leave a message... 16:10, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete a total failure of GNG, which we really should apply to all these rubbish cricket articles and clear out a whole bunch.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:19, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Am I supposed to take it personal that you take every one of mine and others' articles containing purely facts "rubbish"? What would you rather see? How would you react if I called every single one of your articles which has been deleted via AfD "rubbish"? Precisely. I never would because it constitutes a personal attack and I would be significantly reprimanded. Bobo. 11:28, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
