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]
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 recent discussions at NSPORT and elsewhere). _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 14:22, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - does not meet WP:BASIC in that there is seemingly no in-depth coverage available Spiderone 14:17, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Forgive the double comment - once again this is not alone in being the only article which needs to be discussed if so. Why and how do people randomly come across these articles after 11 years? Still makes me suspicious. If this article needs looking at then still do - presumably, given the size of the category - dozens of others. Anyone prepared to do the legwork in improving the other articles or checking them out? None of you would bat an eyelid if these articles had infoboxes. *tumbleweed* Bobo . 15:35, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Blatantly non-notable. Many other similar articles from a period of barely-regulated article creation need to be nominated here, no doubt, but for the moment this can easily go. RobinCarmody (talk) 19:51, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not "barely regulated". Just regulated differently. Y'know. NPOV, N, and all that. Bobo . 12:50, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Chris Martin (cricketer) - which is the article about the New Zealand international cricketer who is clearly the primary target for an article with this title. The Shropshire and Cornwall Minor Counties player is a little more complex to deal with - but whatever we do, this article seems a really obvious redirect case to me.

For the British chap, this article is about all I can find about him just now, although I intend to look more around the subject. I will create an article along the lines of List of Bedfordshire County Cricket Club List A players for Shropshire over the next week I imagine - it will take a little time to get all the information in it, but it's not that difficult to create the basic list. This would seem to sit well with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dean Dass, although I don't think this case is quite as clear cut as that one was. Blue Square Thing (talk) 11:33, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering if there were any Shropshire Star articles concerning him - I have a friend who might be able to search for more through the SS archives but I'm not in a fit state to bother with that right now. Bobo . 12:48, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
