My fourth afd in this Anglo-Australian cricket fancruft deletion drive I have taken on. We have articles on cricket umpiring, seriously? I dont believe this should exist on Wikipedia, and I also am against a merge because all that really needs to happen is a mention of this on the respective tour pages Pharaoh496 (talk) 11:59, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because of the same reason:

Comment What policy-based reasons are there for deletion? There certainly seem to be enough independent sources to meet GNG.Nigel Ish (talk) 19:25, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete We'd delete an article about the Umpiring of Angel Hernandez because that simply isn't grounds for a good article outside 'he's terrible and here's why', which is what this series of articles is equivalent to. Yeah, it's packed with sources, but this isn't a proper article style at all (they read more like a retrospective episode of First Take) and belongs on a cricket-focused wiki, certainly not here.

Delete unnecessary WP:CFORKs that are mostly POV controversy articles, so nothing worth merging into main articles. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:52, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Pharaoh496, Nate and Joseph2302 sum up my feelings about such articles completely. RobinCarmody (talk) 18:44, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. All incidences of controversial umpiring are covered in the main article, making these unnecessary WP:CFORKs. AA (talk) 09:45, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
