as per WP:NOTNEWS. WP does not create articles for individual sporting results (unless a major major game). the result is covered in http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/439403.html LibStar (talk) 08:17, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete, per its failure of the GNG and being completely unremarkable. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:44, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge into New Zealand women's cricket team in England in 2010: this match can be easily merged into the larger article which covers the rest of the games on the tour.  Harrias  talk 17:25, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge - well it certainly doesn't fail GNG as it is a women's match of ODI standard, the highest women's level below Test cricket. I agree with Harrias, merge it into New Zealand women's cricket team in England in 2010. AssociateAffiliate (talk) 21:59, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * it would fail WP:GNG. Women's cricket doesn't get significant coverage in mainstream press let alone a match involving a minor cricket nation of Ireland. LibStar (talk) 22:29, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - Libstar, read WP:CRIN. Women's cricket gets plenty of coverage, if you know where to look. AssociateAffiliate (talk) 16:58, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * provide sources then of signifcant coverage of this specific match. LibStar (talk) 22:32, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'm not sure what you're understanding of cricket is, but any match that is of Women's One Day International standard automatically meets WP:GNG, WP:ATH and WP:CRIN to name but a few. I'm not going to look for significant coverage because I'm in favour of a merge. AssociateAffiliate (talk) 21:45, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * "Women's One Day International standard automatically meets WP:GNG, WP:ATH " is simply not true. WP:ATH applies to individuals not matches. WP:GNG is only passed when significant coverage in reliable sources exists, which does not in this case. WP:CRIN applies to teams and players and not individual matches. you are mistaken. we don't create individual articles for every international cricket match. LibStar (talk) 23:58, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge. I think User:LibStar is right here about the notability of individual matches unless there is specific notability because of a particular feat or significance in the wider context of cricket; merging it into the larger article about the whole tour seems the sensible route.

 * Comment. I suppose, technically speaking, this article is about a series that happened to have consisted of only one match, and precedent seems to be that we have articles about international cricket series. Let's also note that the Ireland women's cricket team has full Test and ODI status, so the statement above that Ireland is a "minor cricket nation" does not apply to the women's team.
