List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by Anil Kumble

 * Nominator(s): &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  17:56, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it meets the FL criteria. Also, we have the other two great spinners of his era Murali and Warnie as FL/on the way, so Kumble's list seems the logical next step. The structure used is similar to the other five-wicket haul lists. Just to note on one of the WP:ACCESS guidelines -- given that there's no single "most important" column, row scopes are not used. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  17:56, 28 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Support no further issues for me. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:25, 2 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Both notes about the renamed cities seem unnecessary and irrelevant.—indopug (talk) 15:38, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * It was done in response to TRM's comments above. I'm personally neutral, but it does help clarify things for the unacquainted. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  04:31, 10 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Comments from  Harrias  talk
 * Depending on the results of the discussion at Featured list candidates/List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by Shane Warne/archive1, the names may need changing for players granted a full name on the scorecards.  Harrias  talk 20:47, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Will wait for the dust to settle on that before making any changes here. cheers. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  08:53, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the best option may be, as for the other list, to use full names in this section, and apply this to the current FLs for consistency.  Harrias  talk 15:55, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not entirely convinced that it's the right approach. Perhaps we should have a more detailed discussion at WT:CRIC or WT:FLC before we accept that as convention? cheers. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  08:01, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Personally, I think it probably is. A discussion at WT:CRIC (here) decided that for scorecards, full names should be used. I think the logic that applied there is equally applicable here: that it is easier to know who is who. As to the format specifically used in this article, I am very much against it; using intials throughout for sylistic reasons may look nice, but MOS:IDENTITY seems to suggest against it, and given that most Pakistani players in particular are universally known by two names, seeing S Mushtaq for Saqlain Mushtaq is confusing even to someone who knows cricket well. Using another example, Shoaib Akhtar is often referred to as simply Shoaib in news articles which typically would use a surname, suggesting that this is possibly of more importance than Akhtar, and thus using S Akhtar would seem incorrect.

 * I've changed to full names. Personally, I'm not entirely for it, but I don't really have a strong opinion on this and since quite a few other editors seem to think it's a better option, I'm fine with it. cheers. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  06:06, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I think it's the safest option. Nice work on this Support from me.  Harrias  talk 06:54, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm a little strapped for online time right now, so I'll address the comments in a few days (don't want anyone to think I'm abandoning the nom). cheers. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  10:48, 13 October 2011 (UTC) Struck comment no longer applicable.&mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  08:53, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
