Cricket Writers' Club County Championship Player of the Year

 * Nominator(s): Harrias  talk 11:47, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Another cricket award, adapting the format used in PCA Young Player of the Year, which currently has three supports here. This one is voted on by cricket journalists based on performance in the County Championship. As always, all comments and criticism invited. Harrias talk 11:47, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Comments –
 * Nothing really much you can do about this, but this list is two items short of the traditional standard of 10 items (noted here, among other discussions) . Coupled with how the prose is barely over the 1,500 character mark of not being a stub (1,673), the jury's still out as to whether this definitively satisfies criteria 3c.  I'll wait and see what other reviewers have to say before reaching a conclusion on this issue.
 * You're probably right; looking at the various pages, this should probably be upmerged into Cricket Writers' Club. I'll have a look through what other content might be added there just to make sure, but I think this will end up being pretty straightforward. Harrias  talk 15:20, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

 * "The award has been presented since the 2012 season and the winner is chosen" – perhaps make it more concise to "Presented since the 2012 season, the winner is chosen …"
 * "recognised for their batting exploits: the only bowlers to have won the award were" – might want to split into two separate sentences (at the colon)
 * Read the prose in detail – rest of it looks good.
 * Images utilized are licensed and tagged, with appropriate alt text.
 * Note: I am participating in the WikiCup, and intend to claim points from the above review. —Bloom6132 (talk) 00:42, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

Cheers for the review. On the back of the other awards lists that I had done, it just seemed natural to create this one too, but ultimately but I will probably withdraw this and carry out the upmerge. Harrias talk 15:20, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I was actually leaning towards waiving the unwritten requirement (since it was never codified in the criteria, and was ultimately superseded by 3c). I do think having to wait for a mere two more recipients to be awarded to get this featured seems a bit arbitrary.  However, if you feel it would be more ideal to merge it into the article, I'm fine with that too. —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:40, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Could I withdraw this per my comments above, please. Harrias  talk 12:13, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
