Drop-in pitches
I just don't know what to do with this. Maybe merge into Cricket? It doesn't seem to be deserving of it's own article, or maybe it's important to cricket, which I know nothing about. -Royalguard11 (Talk·Desk) 23:02, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Sorry, I'm totally cricket illiterate. It didn't look like something big from the original copy, but now it looks better. It also looks way more informative and notable. No point in keeping this going, so nomination withdrawn. -Royalguard11 (Talk·Desk) 03:18, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I also know nothing about cricket, but this article looks like could be improved with a little work, and seems notable enough on its own - plenty of media mentions via Google, so no problem with references. If merging, I would merge with Cricket pitch, not Cricket. I'll add a WikiProject Cricket template, maybe the experts can have a look at it. --Canley 23:53, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep. I won't put myself forward as an expert in the game, but drop-in pitches are still talked about today (IMO) for some dual-use grounds such as the Gabba. It needs work, and I'll have a shot at chasing up some sources later this week after uni wraps up. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 00:36, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep pending BigHaz rewrite. Notable part of the history of World Series Cricket and used at one of the most notable cricket grounds in the world at the MCG. If merged, merge with cricket pitch. Capitalistroadster 03:10, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to Cricket pitch. A Drop in pitch is a method of preparing such a Cricket pitch. Then people can read about different types of pitches. Blnguyen | BLabberiNg 06:58, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep has potential. One of those cool articles like (plug) movable seating that you would never find in Britannica :) -- Chuq 12:40, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
