The result was redirect‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__ to List of Irish first-class cricketers. I don't see how content could be Merged as the list article is in the form of a table but it remains a possibility. Liz Read! Talk! 05:17, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

We don't normally create articles for players playing just 1 first class match. Only primary sources provided. Fails WP:NCRIC. LibStar (talk) 01:11, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

  • The worst case situation here is a redirect to List of Irish first-class cricketers, with a partial merge to a note so that the biographical details and references can be preserved. Given the quality of information at [https://irishcricketarchives.org/CSTATZ/IRELANDBIOS/m/murphy_dj.shtml this source] the chances are that there are contemporary press records offline that could be used to build a proper biography. Liddle appears to be the go to expert on Irish cricketers and clearly wrote for the ACS on the subject - a set of his biographies can be found [https://irishcricketarchives.org/HISTORY/PLAYERS/index.shtml here] for future reference. It might be worth a keep based on Liddle's biography and the fact that he got a Wisden obituary (which is not a gimme, especially for single appearance players), but I'd rather see something a bit more contemporary in news sources. But it really is redirect at the worst - this is never a delete situation. Blue Square Thing (talk) 19:54, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

  • Delete. Fails notability standards; no significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. Prof.PMarini (talk) 13:22, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
  • Keep. International cricketer for a major cricket playing nation. AA (talk) 22:45, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
  • :Doesn't meet WP:NCRIC. Questionable if Ireland is a major playing nation as they don't play world Test series. LibStar (talk) 04:08, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment. Considering Ireland were awarded Test status by the ICC in 2017, I'd consider them a major cricketing nation. AA (talk) 15:02, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
  • They weren't a major cricketing nation in 1920, when this player was around. Whether or not they are now should be irrelevant to determining the notability of someone from 100 years ago. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:06, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
