List of cricketers who have scored a century in all formats of cricket

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is not a notable statistic; on the surface it may look like a measure of a player's batting prowess, but in reality it's just a statistical curiosity. Fact is that scoring a single career Test or ODI century is a trivial achievement for any player with an international career of any length; and scoring a Twenty20 International century is still a bit of a random achievement. Therefore this list sort of ends up being "list of cricketers with Test careers who have scored a Twenty20 International century" – and, indeed, if I do my own statistical deep-dive, I find that there have been 15 T20I centuries scored to date, and ten of those are reflected in this table; the only five that aren't are all from players have never played a Test (Finch, Levi, van Wyk, Berrington and Hales). Overall, this falls somewhere between WP:NOTSTATS and WP:NOTDIR (No. 6 – non-encyclopedic cross-categorisations). Aspirex (talk) 06:57, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, and as a content fork of List of cricketers by number of international centuries scored (all but Raina also appear on that list, and mention can be made over on that list if we think it is significant enough information.) Harrias talk 07:02, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as already noted, WP;NOTSTATS and issue of content forking.  Jim Car ter  10:48, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom and others. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.  IgnorantArmies  (talk)  11:28, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information but obviously a collection of certain facts & trivias. SWASTIK 25talk 05:35, 8 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete I'd go further than the nom to say that this is beyond the notstats/notdir issue and goes into fancruft. Collections of centuries within formats are notable and listed in that manner. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  06:22, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
