List of international cricket centuries by Damien Martyn

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The minimum number of international centuries to qualify as a list is set at 25, and has been since at least 2012. This is because a century is not a rare feat in cricket, so in order to establish something that does not WP:MIRROR ESPNcricinfo or CricketArchive, we have set 25 as a more notable benchmark for lists, otherwise we head toward WP:NOTSTATS territory.

 * Delete per WP:NOTSTATS/WP:NOTMIRROR. Content is easily sourced on ESPNCricinfo. Ajf773 (talk) 08:42, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment. What is the argument for not merging the list into the person's article? Why does it have to be a deletion? SpinningSpark 11:06, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
 * We don't do this with other articles. A summary of achievements written in prose should be good enough, not a comprehensive list of performances in individual matches. Ajf773 (talk) 20:22, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
 * But if it goes to 25 centuries you then create a standalone article? That doesn't make sense and shows no consistency. SpinningSpark 20:43, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
 * The 25 centuries criteria is one made up by WikiProject, no policy attached to it. Ajf773 (talk) 21:13, 15 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 13:29, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge to Damien Martyn and delete. Per WP:SPLIT, no size issues with target so content should be there, and little use in keeping redirect. wjematherplease leave a message... 14:54, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge per to cricketer's article. No good reason to delete. SpinningSpark 15:11, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge into the parent article per WP:SPLIT. Harrias  talk 08:22, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge with Damien Martyn: per above. it will improve the target article and remove an unnecessary list. Just because a stand alone list can be created, doesn't mean a stand alone list should be created.   // Timothy ::  talk  15:03, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment... the articles on these similar AfD's were deleted, not merged:
 * Articles for deletion/List of international cricket centuries by Mushfiqur Rahim
 * Articles for deletion/List of international cricket centuries by Upul Tharanga
 * Articles for deletion/List of international cricket centuries by Shakib Al Hasan. Ajf773 (talk) 10:07, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Previous AfDs attracted almost no discussion (with nominations and almost all comments except those by Ajf773 based on a magical threshold of 25 that has no basis in policy or guideline) so their value in establishing consensus is very low. There has been far more input into the two AfDs currently in progress (this and this), from which a much clearer consensus can be drawn. wjematherplease leave a message... 11:14, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
