Homeworkgate

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

As amusing as this incident was, does it really warrant its own article? It's extremely short and not thoroughly referenced: although it received extensive coverage for a short period the same basic details are mentioned in most sources, and all of the noteworthy content is already in Australian cricket team in India in 2012–13 (the article most of the page was forked from in the first place). This article should find the gap like a tracer bullet (out of Wikipedia) with just a flick of the wrist. I Am Rufus  &bull;  Conversation is a beautiful thing.  20:31, 7 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Raised index finger, adds little if anything to article on tour, which is of a size that can comfortably hold it.TheLongTone (talk) 23:45, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep "not thoroughly referenced" - it would be lovely if all our articles were so poorly referenced. There are seven different sources provided. The notability of the incident is shown by the plethora of sources and as such this passes WP:GNG. The principle of developing daughter articles from main articles is well established, when notability applies. --Dweller (talk) 00:04, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Australian cricket team in India in 2012–13. No evidence that this meets notability requirements for events (WP:EVENT): events need to have lasting impact and more than a few days' press coverage. Some content could be merged but not sure it's necessary. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:22, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect as above. no long term significance. sportspeople get disciplined all the time. LibStar (talk) 07:29, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Australian cricket team in India in 2012–13. The incident has generated some press coverage, but not sufficient to make lasting impact. Salih  ( talk ) 08:51, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge to Australian cricket team in India in 2012–13. It had significant enough ramifications on the tour, and to the careers of the coach, captain, and Shane Watson, so content in their articles is needed to, but the tour article in my opinion can host the content.

 * Merge to broader tour article. The incident is significant enough for coverage, but the title "Homeworkgate" doesn't mean very much (well, not to me, at least). Johnlp (talk) 12:31, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. I don't like the title either – yet another journalese "gate" thing. However, the article is in Category:Cricket controversies which unsurprisingly, given the nature of the sport, contains sixty articles. I think to redirect or merge this one would set a dangerous precedent which might impact the rest, so keep it and provide a main article link in the tour article.

 * Merge with Australian cricket team in India in 2012–13. No proof of independent notability. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 05:40, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
