This is a mixture of Original research and a list of statistics that is a content fork of Waqar Younis. Mt king  (edits)  22:08, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep A list that meets with all the criteria of WP:LIST. There is no content fork - this is an appropriate split to remove information too detailed for the main article, but still useful and encyclopedic, into a sub-article. Waqar Younis is one of the best bowlers in the history of cricket and the times he has taken 5 wickets in a innings is clearly notable. There is no OR problem at all - the list is easily generated on websites such as Cricinfo and would be published in any number of publications including Wisden Cricketers' Almanack and no doubt (although I haven't checked) his autobiography. Far from being indiscriminate, 5 wickets in an innings is a well-recognised achievement in cricket and generally seen as the bowlers equivalent of scoring a century. The achievement is recognised in its own right - see the table at List of Test cricket records. At the risk of invoking WP:OTHERSTUFF, this is no different than the featured list List of international cricket centuries by Sachin Tendulkar. -- Mattinbgn (talk) 00:41, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. I really don't have anything to add to what Mattinbgn says. --Mkativerata (talk) 01:33, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Mattinbgn (talk) is right, there is no difference between this and featued articles like List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by Ian Botham, List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by Anil Kumble, List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by Shane Warne and List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by Wasim Akram.--Zia Khan (talk) 01:43, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep A notable list with clear inclusion criteria, on a notable topic about a notable individual. Only one step away from becoming a featured list, as per this article.  Lugnuts  (talk) 08:07, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Snow keep per the above. Obviously a list that is indistinguishable in this manner from several featured lists in content and scope is not OR, indiscriminate statistics, or an impermissible content fork, as those terms are understood by consensus. Hopefully the nominator will at least learn something new about cricket from this experience; I know I have. postdlf (talk) 19:55, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
