List of international cricket centuries by Nathan Astle

Astle is one of the greatest one-day players to emerge from New Zealand. As of now, he is the only cricketer from New Zealand in the list of players with 25+ centuries at the international level. Look forward to your comments. &mdash; Vensatry (Ping me)  18:42, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Oppose: for me, at the moment, this is a clear 3(b) violation. The parent article on Nathan Astle is short, with less than 1,000 words of prose, and actually contains a version of this list (albeit a poor one). This demonstrates to me that at the moment, this list should make up part of that article, and not be a stand-alone list.  Harrias  talk 20:56, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Reply 27 centuries are good enough to have a stand alone article. The prose (readable) size is over 5000 chars, and not 1000 chars as mentioned by you. When an article like Abdul Qadir (cricketer), which is half the size of Astle's article can have a stand alone sub page, I think this is admissible. &mdash; Vensatry (Ping me)  05:20, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I said 1,000 words, rather than characters, so my statement was correct. And I agree, the Abdul Qadir list should not have been promoted: a merge should probably be carried out to put the list into the parent article.  Harrias  talk 06:49, 20 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Oppose agree with Harrias, there's no need for a content fork yet. If Astle's article was three times the size, it may be okay, but right now, this could easily fit into the main article.  The Rambling Man (talk) 16:37, 20 September 2013 (UTC)


 * I request the FLC directors to give me some time. I'm in the process of expanding the parent article, and once I'm done with that I'll revert back. &mdash; Vensatry (Ping me)  12:20, 21 September 2013 (UTC)


 * The prose size now stands at close to 12k chars with 2000+ words. I feel this should be enough for a player who has played 81 Tests and 223 ODIs. &mdash; Vensatry (Ping me)  18:08, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Would you reassess your vote now that the main article has been expanded? Thanks. — ΛΧΣ  21  04:29, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Comments –
 * "Later the year". "the" → "that".
 * "In the course of innings". Does this need "the" before "innings"?
 * Also, the innings link could be moved to its first usage in the lead. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 21:18, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Fixed all and thanks for the comments &mdash; Vensatry (Ping me)  05:56, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
