Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Audrish Banerjee

Conclusion
An excellent AfD discussion that actually helped all of us (including me as a nominator) to understand Cricket entities and its notabilities as per WP:NCRIC. However, there are certain grey areas that need to be worked upon but again as I said its pure learning for all the editors.

 * I see no grey areas. Grey areas are created by unwillingness to follow brightline guidelines. Like I say, you want to put this article up for deletion - you can do the same with three quarters of my article creations. Read through 'em all and go crazy. I don't mind. They are all exactly the same except for numbers and birthdates or lack thereof. Censor knowledge for the sake of censoring knowledge. I see "delete" votes which contravene brightline criteria as nothing but selective censorship - and until you put every single one of my articles up for deletion, I will continue to do so. The lack of consistency upsets me greatly, and it's almost as if doing the legwork in the first place is pointless if all people are going to do is destroy it. The cricket project has become a very bizarre version of Frankenstein - destroying its own creation. Bobo. 07:11, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
 * What's clear is that the cricket SNG doesn't reliably predict whether these stat dumps get kept, merged, or deleted at AfD. The community broadly agrees that the sports SNGs are way too lax and that "presumption of notability" is no longer a permanent exemption from WP:V and WP:N. Better ways of presenting pure statistical information need to be explored, such as merging into lists. I suggested one possible format here but opinions on that were split between those who thought even that was excessive and those who continued to insist every obscure player needs a shrine.

 * Every team sport SNG is the same. What is the problem? Where do you get the word "obscure" from? Is every non-Test non-ODI non-English player "obscure" just because we may never have heard of them? As for "Lesser known Sri Lankan cricketers", the fact is that those names were just plucked out of nowhere based on selective censorship. Define "lesser-known". Like I say, in a perfect world there need be no qualifier and every first-class team would have a "List of N cricketers". It's ironic that this conversation is happening on a bluelink discussion - I would usually be the first to defend its existence on a redlink or redirect... Bobo. 09:53, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I stand by my belief that if articles I created had infoboxes like those Lugnuts had created, nobody would even notice. Bobo. 10:00, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
