 * Delete or Redirect (merging whatever details may be appropriate) to a suitable list (as per Chitty (cricketer) AfD closure and subsequent merge discussion). Although he made one appearance in a first-class match we have such limited detail about him that he can't hope to come close to meeting the GNG criteria. The Scores and Biographies reference is simply to a scorecard and provides no other details about Wicks, whom we know nothing really about at all - the date of birth on the article seems to be made up as far as I can tell as it's not repeated on either CricInfo or CricketArchive. If we had any other details - for example, a list of miscellaneous matches that he played in, then I might consider the article worth keeping in a stand alone format. Given that we literally have a surname and a single match he played in I tend to think that it is extremely unlikely that we will ever be able to find suitable, in depth, secondary sources to provide other biographical details - which is the assumption that underpins the SNG in this case. In the very unlikely case that we do I would have no problem with the article being recreated.
 * A possible redirect target would be List of Cambridge Town Club and Cambridgeshire cricketers if there was a consensus that the same action as occurred in the Chitty case be followed. Blue Square Thing (talk) 10:45, 8 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Merge/redirect - the subject does meet WP:CRIN (which I wish people would read before nominating), however so little is known about this guy that merge/redirect seems the most sensible thing to do. That's not to say future details won't become avaliable. StickyWicket (talk) 15:08, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
