Redirect to List of Jersey women Twenty20 International cricketers as it fails WP:GNG. I am unable to find enough in-depth coverage of the subject to warrant a standalone article. JTtheOG (talk) 23:55, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Women, Cricket, and Jersey. JTtheOG (talk) 23:55, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This article has sources including BBC, Jersey Evening Post and ESPNcricinfo and links to several other pages on Wikipedia. The subject is a player for the Jersey women's national cricket team with 19 caps including in a T20 world cup qualifying tournament. I was trying to create a complete set of pages for the Jersey women's cricket team excluding those players who have done nothing of note of course. Coverage of places such as Jersey is sparse so sources are often hard to come by. This does not make the subject matter irrelevant. Shrug02 (talk) 23:59, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: No significant coverage about this individual found. What's now used in the article is trivial coverage, name drops and twitter posts. I don't find anything we can use. Oaktree b (talk) 01:09, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Please also delete the following Jersey cricket players pages I created as this is obviously a subject matter unworthy of Wikipedia - Chloe Greechan, Patrick Gouge, Charlie Brennan, Nia Greig, Trinity Smith, Scott Simpson, Grace Wetherall, Analise Merritt, Charlie Miles, Mia Maguire, Georgia Mallet, Erin Gouge, Erin Duffy, Lily Greig, Florence Tanguy, Aimee Aikenhead, Florrie Copley

Many of those look potentially notable (worthy of an article) – I wouldn't have them all deleted just out of being upset over this one being potentially deleted. BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:26, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the kind words (it is truly appreciated and nice to read) but I'm just getting ahead of the curve. While other reviewers have seen no issue with any of them it seems I have fallen foul of one that sees no value in small places or sports not popular in certain parts of the world. I'm just saving them the time of hunting down my articles so they can have them removed. Shrug02 (talk) 17:09, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would ask you to focus on the content and not the contributor. If I "see no value in small places or sports not popular in certain parts of the world," why would most of my article creations be focused on exactly that? JTtheOG (talk) 19:28, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea what articles you have created. I am only replying to someone who commented that my work had value. I'm more interested in adding to knowledge rather than removing it. I would rather not engage further with you as I found last night's interaction distressing enough. Thank you. Shrug02 (talk) 19:52, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect. No GNG coverage found. Routine match reports and other trivial coverage do not count towards notability. JoelleJay (talk) 20:29, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Oaktree b: @JoelleJay: Would you all consider a redirect as your primary recommendation to preserve the page history? JTtheOG (talk) 21:16, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. JoelleJay (talk) 22:17, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's not my preferred option. Oaktree b (talk) 22:34, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of Jersey women Twenty20 International cricketers. No SIGCOV to warrant a standalone article. Frank Anchor 12:53, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Jersey women Twenty20 International cricketers#Maria Da Rocha, where the content has now been added. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:28, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
