Hollywood Ashes

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Delete. This has no notability whatsoever. It is a strictly amateur, low-level "occasion" frequented by so-called "celebs", none of whom come remotely close to complying with WP:NCRIC or WP:CRIN. It is an example of creating an article for the sake of creating an article. See the tags applied to the article. Fails WP:INHERITORG too. Jack | talk page 12:02, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete The article's subject has no notability whatsoever. Definitely should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajni Sharma (talk • contribs) 12:30, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Not notable celebs involved? - errhh, I would have thought Hugh Jackman, Eric Idle, Mel Gibson, Ozzy Osbourne are notable?. They may not be notable to Americans, but they certainly are notable to people in Australia and the UK. The event attracts some big celebs to be involved and on it's board, it has been running for 7 years, and continues a tradition of English and Australian celebs playing cricket in Hollywood that went back to the 1940's.

 * They may be notable in the world of entertainment but not in the world of cricket and so this article fails WP:CRIN. As for the "tradition", my local club has a traditional match each season against another village a few miles up the road. The standards of play in that match are certainly higher than anything a bunch of actors could produce, but I don't think anyone would dream of creating a WP article about it. Please see WP:INHERITORG which rules that while an organisation or event may be notable in itself, its members or participants are not notable in terms of their membership or participation; the converse being that while individual members or participants may be notable in their own right, their membership or participation does not confer notability upon the organisation or event.

 * Comment I think it's obvious this wouldn't be important in the world of Professional cricket, and in terms of it being an important sporting event - obviously the level of players aren't very good. That's because it is a social friendly match, between British and Australia celebrities, with the level of celebrities involved, it's important in that context and as a cultural event, not in the level of professional cricketers involved.

 * Delete Non-notable team which doesn't play at first-class/List A/Twenty20 level, or of any historical significance. In short, it fails WP:CRIN. PinchHittingLeggy (talk) 14:11, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete Searching Google suggests it would barely pass WP:GNG with some passing mentions here and there.  Lugnuts  Precious bodily fluids 19:05, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment I agree, there aren't many mentions of it. I mainly created it because of it's social/cultural worth based on of the level of celebrities involved, and it had a national competition value to it, replicating the main ashes series. Not particularly attached to it, in any case. Deathlibrarian (talk) 04:08, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
