Fails WP:CRIN. The WP:CRIN notability guidelines state: "...has appeared in at least one ICC World Cup Qualifier match since 2005, or in an ICC Trophy final prior to 2005, as a player or umpire" Muller does not meet these criteria. AssociateAffiliate (talk) 20:14, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

:keep' WP:CRIN also says "has appeared in at least one major cricket match since 1697 as a player or umpire" That would include other international matches like the European Cricket Championship where in addition to what is mentioned in the article he was at least named in 2004[http://www.cricket.de/magazin/artikel.php?artikel=264&type=2&menuid=76&topmenu=11&date=2004-09-03] Agathoclea (talk) 20:57, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

  • Comment - ICC Trophy matches prior to 2005 (the 2005 ICC Trophy had List A status) are deemed to be non-major cricket matches. Major cricket encompasses first-class, List A and Twenty20 cricket. It would be List A status which would apply, which the tournaments Muller featured in did not have. He could only therefore be deemed notable if Germany or Denmark had appeared in an ICC Trophy final when he was playing, which neither did. AssociateAffiliate (talk) 21:14, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

:Delete. As the nominator states, fails WP:CRIN. Sports figures have a very low bar on WP and we shouldn't allow articles for players with very weak credentials. --Johnsemlak (talk) 10:05, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete and note the particular meaning of "major" in cricket - we have an article Major cricket. --Dweller (talk) 11:37, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Nev1 (talk) 12:10, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment - I created this, along with others of the same nationality, before I knew of entirely hard-and-fast rules about nationalities. How many other Danish cricketers will also need deleting on the same principle? Bobo. 13:42, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment - Just Muller Bobo. AssociateAffiliate (talk) 15:26, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment - Cheers. Just checking to see whether I had added any more non-notable names which required deletion. I meant German cricketers, I guess... Bobo. 00:21, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment - Same with the German ones as well, just Muller. AssociateAffiliate (talk) 15:10, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
  • Delete – Doesn't meet criteria of notability as per WP:CRIN. 05:38, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
