George Buckley (cricketer, born 1875)

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

Prodded with the justification Violates the general criteria of WP:NOTDATABASE, and fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTCRIT #5. Also fails WP:NOLYMPICS, as only two teams participated. An attempt to find additional sources failed, and WikiProject Cricket was also unable to help.

Pinging Bobo192 who removed the prod for more information. BilledMammal (talk) 08:18, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'm fairly sure I wasn't the original creator of this article - it doesn't read like one of my articles, and I don't recognize the external link. Hmm... wonder how that came about. My original edit summary was "Transplanted...", not "Created..." or "Article set-up", as is usual. I wonder where I took the text from... Bobo. 09:06, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
 * @Bobo192 It seems like you performed a cut and paste move of the article from George Buckley (cricketer), most of the article history is in that redirect. . This needs a WP:HISTMERGE to fix the page history and restore proper attribution. 163.1.15.238 (talk) 11:00, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Aha. It was so long ago now that I forget which articles I set up in the first place. Bobo. 11:04, 10 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment I find it odd that you want to find online sources for a 1875 cricketer, WP:OFFLINESOURCES! There is very little out there online other than, gbolympics which states; Little is known about George Buckley other than he was a member of the Castle Cary cricket club and also the gold medal winning Devon Wanderers team in 1900.

 * If nothing can be found on this guy, then redirect to Cricket at the 1900 Summer Olympics per WP:ATD, WP:PRESERVE, WP:R and WP:CHEAP.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 12:22, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete there are no sources that actually demonstrate notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:50, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Cricket at the 1900 Summer Olympics Subject fails the new updated guidelines, but clearly existed and won a medal at the Olympic games, which should be noted in some form, if not an article. Redirect is a suitable WP:ATD. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 19:30, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Cricket at the 1900 Summer Olympics. There has been some discussion about this at the cricket wikiproject, and there seems to be the view that a set of notes could be put together with basic details about the players involved. In Buckely's case that won't be much, but we have basic biographical details. Blue Square Thing (talk) 20:05, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
