List of international cricket centuries by Faf du Plessis

WP:TOOMUCH warns against excessive detail, etc. and directs to WP:LISTCRUFT which deprecates "lists for sake of having a list". All of these lists fail because the subjects do not meet the agreed qualification of 25 centuries minimum imposed to prevent flooding of the site with such lists. See Template:International cricket centuries setting the standard of 25 centuries minimum. Protea caffra (talk) 07:11, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment WP:TOOMUCH does not say anything about lists, so to put such a statement in quotes is disingenuous. On the other hand WP:LISTCRUFT says :
 * "The list should originate as a section within that article, and should not be broken out into a separate article until it becomes so long as to be disproportionate to the rest of the article."
 * so if the article does get deleted the content should be merged back into Faf Du Plessis.
 * There is nothing in the template linked that shows that there is any consensus that a List article is not created until a player reaches 25 centuries, only that they are not added to that template until such a level is reached. Spike &#39;em (talk) 14:44, 7 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Note to closing admin
 * The user that started this discussion has now "retired" after suspicions were raised about them being a sock of a blocked user. I'd recommend this is closed, with no objection to another user raising this at AfD, if they feel strongly about it.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 17:38, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
