List of Everest Premier League players

Fails WP:LISTN and WP:NOT. Seems obvious why we don't maintain WP:FANCRUFT lists such as this. Anyway, no independent sources outside wide ranging databases discuss this non-defining intersection of cricketer and league. wjematherplease leave a message... 10:49, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep but needs substantial editing, primarily to turn it into a proper alphabetical list and get rid of all the flags. I'm entirely happy to include lists like this - the EPL is a serious cricket league, there are no verifiability issues and the use of lists of player is a fairly standard thing across cricket articles. Sure, it's not an official T20 league yet, but it's still played in by people who have often played in those sorts of league (or internationally) and is the highest level of T20 cricket in Nepal I think. Unless I'm missing something significant? I'm not about to edit this to improve it until I know it's kept btw. Blue Square Thing (talk) 11:15, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Please could you address WP:NOTDB and WP:NLIST concerns. For example, where are the independent, non-database sources that substantially discuss EPL players as a group? wjematherplease leave a message... 11:34, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't think we'll get into the stats, so NOTDB doesn't seem to apply. Partial groups of players are discussed at a range of sources: here, here,, here, here, here, here, here, here and so on. That sort of discussion - who's playing, when, for whom etc... - seems enough for me to say this is OK as a standalone list as the group or set have been discussed. Haven't they? Blue Square Thing (talk) 16:26, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
 * The list is simply raw data with little prospect of being anything else, so NOTDB absolutely applies. Announcements of individual players and squads (relevant to one year only) provide the required coverage to (content in) support season articles, but not complete lists of players throughout history. wjematherplease leave a message... 16:45, 15 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete no need for a list of every player to have played in this comparatively minor competition. Just because lists exist for other larger T20 competitions such as List of Indian Premier League players, that doesn't mean that this list has to exist. No evidence it meets any of the criteria of WP:NLIST, and half the people listed are non-notable too (and Wikipedia isn't the place for lists of non-notable people).

 * Delete A list for cricketers competing in a league we classify as non-notable isn't required in my opinion. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 17:56, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree with Joseph2302 and Rugbyfan22. Doesn’t meet criteria of WP:NLIST. Fats40boy11 (talk) 06:14, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
