Windowgate

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable event; it garnered some press coverage at the time, but it is hardly an important event in the recent history of cricket, let alone an event notable enough for an encyclopedia entry. The information should be provided in the parent article (Sri Lankan cricket team in England in 2011) at that should suffice.  Harrias  talk 16:29, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:GNG. Source 11 shows that it has more than just brief press coverage at the time. I think it also has notability from being damage to a listed building at the Home of Cricket that precipitated an alteration of the Lord's Pavilion. User:Chamal_N also gave a good reason for the article to remain at the the DYK nomination page.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 16:33, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:TRIVIA and add a short piece in the main tour article as Harrias suggests. Jack | talk page 18:10, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
 * That's more of a merge !vote isn't it? No need to delete when there is info that might be retrieved if needs be.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 18:28, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Reply. No, it is not a "merge vote". It is a clear vote for deletion because the information is trivia. I have simply agreed with Harrias that the incident is worth mentioning in the tour article. Jack | talk page 19:28, 20 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete. Non-notable incident. I wouldn't even put it in the main tour article it's so trivial. Johnlp (talk) 21:03, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete: Non-notable, and inclined to agree with Harrias and Johnlp. I think claiming notability based on damage to a listed building that required mild alterations is a little unconvincing. This should be no more than a sentence in Prior's article, and I don't think it is worth including in the tour article. Sarastro1 (talk) 21:31, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete simply because notability is not inherited from Lord's Pavilion or Matt Prior. A line already mentions the incident in Sri Lankan cricket team in England in 2011 and I don't think "man breaks window" events warrant articles here. If it were such a big deal to Prior's career you'd think someone would've at least mentioned it in his article by now. Funny  Pika! 08:38, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination and above comments. Perhaps worth mentioning in a sentence in Prior's article, but nothing more substantial than that. Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 15:49, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete -- This is a wholly NN incident. I might be worth a mention in another article; and I gather that has been done.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:08, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
