English cricket team streak of 27 Test matches without defeat

Not notable enough for a seperate article, recommend delete and merge to England national cricket team. SGGH ping! 14:26, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect It is merely an interesting fact that deserves a mention in the national team article. No basis for a separate article at all.  --Jack | talk page 14:34, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Support delete and merge. If this was notable enough for it's own article, it would set a precedent for probably a dozen similar articles. JH (talk page) 16:49, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - delete and merge is not an option due to licensing conflictions (both CC3.0 and the GFDL), specifically the need for attribution; merge and redirect is the only option in such a situation, even if the resulting redirect is bizarre. Redirects are cheap, anyway. AllynJ (talk | contribs) 01:32, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment – I've changed my vote above per AllynJ. --Jack | talk page 05:18, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect I don't think this AfD discussion is necesssary, merge and redirection can be done outside the AfD system on the article talk page. In fact, it probably shouldn't be deleted if the material is to be merged into another article for licence reasons. Of course, this material is unable to support a stand-alone article and its best place is as the nominator says, in England national cricket team. -- Mattinbgn\talk 21:15, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Updated below Merge to England national cricket team, the resulting redirect will probably be a bit absurd, but no other way to do this since the info isn't in the main article. Until this AfD, I didn't know that England actually held this record! - SpacemanSpiff Calvin&#8225;Hobbes 22:32, 15 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment The title is wrong. The abandoned Test is not included in the relevant statistics and England are only credited with 26 in a row. Tintin 06:17, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment And we lost the one-day international that replaced the abandoned Test! --Jack | talk page 06:59, 16 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment. A better article into which to merge it might be History of the England cricket team from 1945. JH (talk page) 08:04, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein   05:46, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. The sequence of Test matches is only 26, so the title and content are wrong - Cricinfo. If someone wants to add sourced content to History of the England cricket team from 1945 they can do so, but merging this is not the best idea now. Thanks to Tintin for pointing this out! - SpacemanSpiff Calvin&#8225;Hobbes 05:48, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
