Notability[edit]

I'm removing the notability tag as the club is undeniably notable. The article is still a stub but there is scope for considerable development, especially as Sri Lankan cricket has now recovered from the impact of the pandemic. The club was promoted to major status just before the pandemic began and had played only a few top-class matches prior to this year. They have now taken part in three major competitions and will do again next year.

I take the point about CricketArchive (CA) being paywalled but it was used for convenience to get the article started. I've only added a few lines with barely anything yet about 2022 but the extra information has come from sources other than CA. The article is still a stub but I will develop it in the near future along the same lines as other articles about top-class cricket clubs. BcJvs UTC 13:38, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The currently provided sources are nowhere near what we need to establish WP:GNG--rather than providing stat blocks and match fixtures, we need citations to significant prose coverage describing the club's history. If such coverage cannot be found, then the article should be redirected to the league that it plays in. signed, Rosguill talk 17:21, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article was restored from a previous unnecessary redirect only four days ago so it is effectively a new article. Is there an urgent deadline or am I allowed to develop the article at my leisure? Until I do make some significant inputs, it will be a stub and I was not aware that stubs are verboten. BcJvs UTC 22:42, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Stubs are allowed, but if the sources do not indicate that it meets WP:GNG, it will likely be nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it over time but do not think you will be able to identify sufficient sourcing within the next few days, I would suggest moving it to either Draft space or a subpage of your userpage. signed, Rosguill talk 23:13, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Really. Well, I suggest that you are abusing your position as an administrator by trying to exert undue pressure. I am seeing too much of that sort of attitude and I further suggest that my valuable time will be better spent on other projects that are much more worthwhile than Wikipedia. Another editor calls it a day. Well done. BcJvs UTC 23:51, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My warning that the article is likely to be deleted has nothing to do with being an administrator: other editors are likely to nominate it for deletion if it doesn't meet the notability guideline for inclusion. signed, Rosguill talk 00:15, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Wisden good enough for you? As for your pedantic "warning", go medieval with it. Bye now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.30.240.42 (talk) 12:59, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
