List of Odisha cricketers

For the reasons described at Articles for deletion/Panadura Sports Club single-appearance players, this article should be deleted. A single entry seems deficient in a sport that requires no less than eleven to play a game. Rhadow (talk) 14:03, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Category:Odisha cricketers has 57 entries, so why couldn't this be expanded? postdlf (talk) 15:48, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment -- Hello postdlf -- There are already thirty-eight players and coaches on Odisha cricket team. Why duplicate the list at List of Odisha cricketers? Rhadow (talk) 16:06, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
 * That would be a different argument than you've presented for deletion. Sounds like this list should then be redirected to the proper section of that article. postdlf (talk) 17:21, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
 * So I copied the one entry in the list in preparation for a redirect, instead of the delete originally proposed here. Rhadow (talk) 17:52, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Note I am simply saying that deletion is not an option, I have no opinion on whether this should be kept as a WP:SPLIT from the parent. If it shouldn't, then it should be redirected. postdlf (talk) 18:36, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand to be comprehensive. Harrias  talk 07:52, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep The list has now been radically expanded.  The main article Odisha cricket team only shows the current squad and a small selection of the more notable players.  This article shows (is meant to) all players past and present.  NOM's rational for deletion no longer exists.  Eno Lirpa (talk) 12:44, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep -- After Eno Lirpa's extensive editing (and determination that the original entry was not "more notable") the list seems usable. It still contains duplicates and has some sorting problems, but time will take care of that, methinks. Original nominator Rhadow (talk) 13:29, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks Eno Lirpa (talk) 13:46, 2 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Would you consider expanding your other stubby lists such as these? Haryana, Goa, Vidarbha, J&K, Railways. Some of these lists do not cover even 1 percent of all players who played for the respective teams. In case you don't wish to work on these lists, nuking them and letting somebody else start over would be a viable option. Dee  03  17:31, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
