    Edward Barrett (cricketer, born 1846)

    [edit]

    Hello all. I was in the middle of attempting to expand the article on the above cricketer, when I noticed the London Gazette reference referring to his wife, Ella. In it, her late husband is identified as "Colonel Edward Barrett". Interestingly, a search for Colonel Edward Barrett on the BNA brings up a chairman of the Farnham United Breweries, which would make sense as he was a Farnham man. CI and CA have his dates of birth and death as follows: 11 June 1846 – 23 December 1923. A notice of death in the BNA records his death from a motor accident as occurring on 19 January 1922, aged 67, making his year of birth 1854 or 1855. Is it likely CA and CI have the dates for a different Edward Barrett? An 1854/55 DOB would also make more sense, as his FC debut was 1885, making him more likely to debut at 29/30 than over 40. Thoughts? AA (talk) 19:36, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    His son's Cheltenham entry gives his father's address as Sandbanks in Dorset, where the inquest into Colonel Edward Barrett notes his residence as being... gotta be the same guy! AA (talk) 20:11, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Seems likely. [1] wjematherplease leave a message... 12:10, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for finding this. I'm going to have to find a way around WP:ORIGINAL here! AA (talk) 16:07, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Articles for Future ICC events

    [edit]

    There's no point in creating stub-class articles for future ICC events; they only have confirmed hosts, other than that not even the format is confirmed. Take a look at the following pages,

    A consensus should be made on when new articles for future events should be created... Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 10:47, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I'd suggest that the new articles should only be created when the qualification process for the event commences, then only we could know confirmed format, qualification scenario etc. Until then, they should remain as redirects. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 10:50, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    You already asked for this: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cricket/Archive 94#Create a page on 2024 World Championship of Legends, and I don't think the answer will have changed since then. Richard3120 (talk) 13:04, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Vikas265 this should only be created if it meets WP:GNG. Don't ask the same questions here over and over again. If yo continue repeating questions here because you don't like the answers, I will seek administrator action to block you from this page. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:22, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Please do. 87.5% of their articles have been deleted and they add nothing to the cricket project. AA (talk) 16:08, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I see that the page has been created. I've seen no mention of this tournament anywhere in the British media, so IU doubt that it meets GNG. To call most of the retired players taking part "legends" would seem to be rather stretching things. JH (talk page) 07:07, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Jhall1: He's literally just copying and pasting press releases which describe them as "legends": https://www.ndtvprofit.com/sports/world-championship-of-legends-wcl-2024-schedule-teams-live-streaming-and-more#:~:text=The%20WCL%20will%20feature%20teams,play%20in%20the%20WCL%202024. Richard3120 (talk) 16:15, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I've moved in back to draftspace Draft:2024 World Championship of Legends, since the article does nothing to establish notability. If Vikas265 inevitable ignores everyone here again and moves it back to article space, I will be AFDing it. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:30, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Also on related note, I see 2023 Legends League Cricket Masters (the last season of it) has been previously deleted as non-notable. I've also started a couple of AFDs on articles mentioned here, feel free to contribute there: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Legends League Cricket and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Road Safety World Series.

    Falling standards

    [edit]

    Now we have Under-19 cricketers without senior debuts being added and deemed notable, largely due to WP:REFBOMB or WP:INHERITED. Given the above topic, do we actually have any proper, quality article creation/editing taking place anymore? AA (talk) 21:26, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
