List of cricketers who scored a century in their last Test match

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

What makes it notable to score in their last match? It happens in a lot of sports without being notable (although fun for the player themselves). Scoring itself is not notable and not in last match either, and it is enough to mention in the players own article, but not need for a list for it. Qed237&#160;(talk) 12:54, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable intersection. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:58, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep a notable topic, test matches are significant and to score a century in your last match is a notable achievement as they are the top international level, plenty of RS available passes WP:GNG Atlantic306 (talk) 14:43, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
 * delete unless someone can come up with an external source for this besides somebody's personal cricket fan page. Otherwise it's pure WP:OR sports trivia. Mangoe (talk) 14:54, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Mangoe here is the cricinfo list which is a reliable source Atlantic306 (talk) 15:01, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Article itself was created from that link so that doesn't need original research.  GreenCricket  (talk)  17:21, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak delete I love cricket and cricket trivia, but I don't see any real reason this needs to exist. It would be low down in my cricket cruft pile (I'm trying to avoid WP:IDONTLIKEIT here). First match. Yes. Last? Not sure.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 18:50, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep This article need some improvement but It should be kept.  GreenCricket  (talk)  17:18, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - scoring a century in your last Test is no more significant than scoring one in your 3rd or 12th or 43rd -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:21, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Wikipedia is not meant a collection of random unimportant trivia and statistics. There are at least two websites (CricketArchive and ESPNcricinfo) that already contain these sorts of lists, they don't need to be migrated here.  IgnorantArmies  (talk)  15:53, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per Lugnuts, IgnorantArmies, etc. Centuries on debut are a well-discussed phenomenon, probably because of the signs of potential that they give. Centuries in last match are not at all significant. StAnselm (talk) 19:10, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Centuries in last match are not well discussed in reliable sources. Plus the notion of last match isn't well-defined for current cricketers (they could have a "last match" but then return to playing international cricket some years later). Joseph2302 (talk) 23:14, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
