List of New Zealand cricketers
Duplication. Superseded by List of New Zealand Test cricketers and List of New Zealand ODI cricketers which have more detail and which is now de-facto standard for other cricket player lists by country. See List of cricket topics for list of other like lists. Delete -- Ian &equiv; talk 16:22, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Category:New Zealand cricketers is more complete. Perhaps we should replace this list with a direct link to the Category page (can we do that by way of redirect?}jguk 17:26, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirects shouldn't cross namespace, and I'm not certain that redirects to categories work anyway. Thryduulf 21:41, 25 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Make a disambig between the the two lists. Thryduulf 21:41, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I've just checked, redirects across namespaces do work - see User:Jguk/sandbox. BAsed on this, I recommend a redirect, jguk 21:49, 25 December 2005 (UTC)


 * make it a disambig. Not a redirect, since there's information here which is useful enough that wouldn't be transferrable to a category (whether the players are current or former, how many tests and ODIs they played, etc). Grutness...wha?  01:21, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
 * This page title is "New Zealand cricketers". Most of these have never played Test or ODI cricket. The category can easily have an intro linking to the other lists. It would be a kind of two in one -- both a redirect and a disambiguation, jguk 09:46, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
