Justin Green (New Zealand Cricketer)

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

Prod removed with no improvement or justification. Fails WP:ATHLETE, not played at the top level in a professional sport. No substantial WP:RS that discuss the subject. Tassedethe (talk) 03:40, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

His stature is significant enough that he is accorded a page on the cric info site and was the subject of alot of scrutiny on the site during New Zealands recent tour with India and the injuries sustained —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.57.55.7 (talk) 09:56, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * He is currently the subject of significant discussion in the New Zealand cricket community regarding his skills, record and potential - It has been suggest he has the potential to play for the New Zealand national cricket side if he can avoid injuries.


 * Delete - Green is a non-notable cricketer as he has not played first-class, List A or Twenty20 cricket, so as per WP:CRIC is non-notable. As he has not played cricket professionally (at the highest level) he fails WP:ATH.  Also, to the address the comment, Tom Austwick also has a Cricinfo page, this in itself does not make him notable, likewise with Justin Green.  Also, chatter doesn't make someone instantly notable - at the age of 28, I think the chances of him playing international cricket are pretty remote considering he hasn't played high-level representative cricket.

 * Delete for reasons of notability. I wondered whether it was a spoof: people tend not to bowl round-arm much these days and if his height is "5.01" he's either rather tall or rather short. A specialist fielding position of long-stop suggests he hasn't played much for sides with reliable wicketkeepers! Johnlp (talk) 07:27, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete 122.57, he's not notable until he's either done something (play top-class cricket) or been the subject of multiple, non-trivial references in reliable sources. He may have a great future, but, like a 1 week old Don Bradman, he isn't notable yet. Until then, delete. --Dweller (talk) 10:52, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Cricinfo appears to have taken down the listing for this player, although, at the time of writing, it is still available in Google's cache. I share Johnlp's scepticism. Phil Bridger (talk) 14:57, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Yes indeed, the page no longer exists on Cricinfo. AssociateAffiliate (talk) 17:31, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
