*'''Delete''' or merge to [[List of Shropshire County Cricket Club players]], which would have to be created. Playing one solitary List A game does not make a cricketer notable, especially when that appearance was for a minor county and their contribution was so insignificant. Seemingly nothing spectacular about any of their other minor counties appearances either. As such, it seems highly unlikely that there is enough substantial coverage to be found to warrant a standalone article. Fails all guidelines except NCRIC/CRIN, which does not enjoy community support (per [[Wikipedia talk:Notability (sports)/Archive 37#Recent English FC cricketers fail WP:GNG / WP:BIO|recent discussions at NSPORT]] and elsewhere). <sub>[[User:Wjemather|<span style="color:#0D5218">wjemather</span>]]</sub><sup>[[User talk:Wjemather|<span style="color:#520D0D">please leave a message...</span>]]</sup> 14:22, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

  • Comment a little information on him here. (Still not enough coverage, but might be a helpful start for anyone possibly looking for more.) Harrias (he/him) • talk 08:34, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep - are we here again? Why not just delete every article I created? Not having heard of someone isn't a reason to delete an article. To be honest I'd rather see all minor counties' cricketers deleted if we're going to come here again. Every article I've ever written runs to exactly the same template, and none of them have been updated in the last eleven years. Delete them all. Bobo. 10:14, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
