The result was delete‎. After discounting arguments without basis in Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, there is a clear consensus to delete. Proposals for new guidelines should be brought up at Wikipedia talk:Notability (sports). No prejudice to the creation of a redirect from this title to Andhra Premier League, as this was not addressed in this discussion and would appear to be a valid WP:ATD. signed, Rosguill talk 04:24, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yet another set of unnecessary season article for a local state tournament, where most of the players are not notable. As such, not enough coverage to meet WP:GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 12:52, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because [insert reason here]:

  • Keep @Joseph2302, It is the largest tournament in South India and it's one of the important leagues in India, I presume after a few years it will have same importance as Tamil Nadu Premier League or KSCA tournament, I believe this article should be kept. Beside that, can you please highlight the main issue in this article other than the coverage. A league can't be famous in just one season, it needs time, and this league had enough coverage being a new league according to what I saw in the internet and from the residents of Andra Pradesh. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2409:40E4:5:1380:8000:0:0:0 (talk) 13:56, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AA promoting specific and state-level leagues while pushing for the deletion of others. This practice seems to favor the retention of pages related to their preferred leagues, potentially at the expense of others.

Wikipedia is a global platform that should uphold the principle of equality for all pages that have significant coverage. It's important to ensure that all state and national leagues with significant covearge, regardless of their popularity or backing, are treated fairly and given the opportunity to be represented. Consistent and unbiased application of Wikipedia's guidelines is crucial to maintaining its integrity as a reliable and inclusive source of information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2409:40E4:5:1380:8000:0:0:0 (talk) 13:58, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Don't hide behind an IP. You'll find the specific state level leagues I don't support deleting hold official status (first-class, List A, T20)... you won't find any of these non-notable leagues do. We are not a repository for any and all cricket. If you are one of the editors mass creating these, put your efforts into producing quality articles, because these are just stats spam and quite frankly awful. Over and out.

  • Comment, Guidelines / Standards for Establishing Wikipedia Notability for State Cricket Leagues:

In my opinion, establishing clear guidelines for creating Wikipedia articles related to state cricket leagues is essential to ensure they meet the notability criteria and have a lasting presence on the platform. To pass the Wikipedia General Notability Guidelines WP:GNG and retain annual league and team articles, I propose the following criteria:

Completion of Multiple Seasons: State leagues, such as the Tamil Nadu Premier League, should successfully complete at least one to three annual league series. This demonstrates consistency, relevance, and the league’s potential for long-term significance in the cricketing landscape.

Involvement of National Players: The state league should feature at least 10 players who have competed in prestigious events such as the Indian Premier League (IPL), national cricket tournaments, or international matches. The presence of such players not only elevates the league's standard but also increases its notability and media coverage.

Minimum Team Requirement and Broadcast Standards: To align with national and international guidelines, the state cricket league should consist of a minimum of six teams. Additionally, the league should be broadcast live on major sports channels like Star Sports, ESPN, or equivalent platforms. This ensures widespread visibility and demonstrates the league’s significance beyond the local level.

By adhering to these guidelines, we can ensure that Wikipedia articles about state cricket leagues are both notable and valuable resources for readers, reflecting the importance of these leagues in the broader context of cricket. Davidrun99 (talk) 23:52, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
