List of cricketers who have scored centuries in consecutive matches from Test debut

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Per WP:NOTSTATSBOOK. This is not a notable statistic, unlike List of centuries scored on Test cricket debut. It may be referred to when a cricketer attains the feat, but this is mere trivia, with no in-depth coverage of the phenomenon. StAnselm (talk) 18:42, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge; as suggested at the FL nom, this should be (carefully) merged into List of centuries scored on Test cricket debut, which is already a Featured list. By definition, everyone who has scored centuries in consecutive matches from Test debut made a century on their Test debut, so the one is the subset of the other.

 * Merge and redirect as per my thoughts at the FLC nom - this is really a statistical footnote to scoring a century on debut, which is the important thing. BencherliteTalk 19:27, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect echoing Harrias' and Bencherlite's comments. Aspirex (talk) 22:28, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment – Given a fair amount of coverage by various third-party sources, I seriously doubt if this qualifies WP:NOTSTATSBOOK., , , , , . To be honest, these lists are definitely more encyclopedic than 'List of accolades received by XX film'. &mdash; Vensatry (Talk) 05:35, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
 * With regards to film accolades, people see Other stuff exists. With regards to the references, it is not significant coverage: the first article is really about Jimmy Neesham, while the third article lists a whole lot of statistics (like "five-wicket hauls in five or more consecutive innings"). The last one adds another statistic: centuries in first two innings. Why not have an article about that, with Neesham, Kallicharan, Ganguly and Sharma? And the answer is obvious: it is a subset of centuries on debut. The merge arguments above make a lot of sense. StAnselm (talk) 06:17, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
 * WP:OSE isn't a valid argument. Leaving that aside, I don't understand your problem with the last ref. – "adds another stat". To answer your question, we can have an article when the topic gets significant coverage, by the time when another 4-5 players get added to the list. &mdash; Vensatry (Talk) 07:20, 20 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Merge per nominator and Harrias. 1.39.61.108 (talk) 14:03, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
