Masscreated LUGSTUB, fails WP:NSPORT.
Two sources were found in my WP:BEFORE, both brief news-articles. The first is a [https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/205361895 brief speculative piece about him possibly playing in England] (no sign that this happened), the second is [https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/279149788 a brief piece about him being selected as a replacement for a match]. Neither describes the subject in detail as required by WP:SIGCOV. FOARP (talk) 09:16, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Keep - there is a [https://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/228583.html Wisden obituary] and [https://trove.nla.gov.au/search/category/newspapers?keyword=%22Des%20Fitzmaurice%22 Trove] throws up fair bit of coverage in Australian newspapers which goes beyond passing mentions.

:@Jpeeling - I honestly think the single-paragraph newspaper coverage doesn't cut it for WP:SIGCOV since it doesn't really provide any biographical detail, but the Wisden bio looks like it just about cuts it. Happy to withdraw at this point. FOARP (talk) 14:31, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
