Some Wikipedians have formed a project to expand and organise information better in articles related to the sport of cricket. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help but don't know what to do, see the Welcome page, or inquire on our talk page. You may sign up for the project on the Participants list, and add your name here and here if cricket is your favourite sport. We are in search of graphic artists for cricket-related diagrams. Those who know something about women's cricket, please sign up. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Notability criteria guideline for article inclusionWikiProject Cricket participants have adopted the following guidelines for notability of a cricket person for an article in Wikipedia:
The term "first-class cricket" can be misleading since, officially, it did not begin until 1947 and should not be applied retrospectively according to the MCC definition. Whereas in practice the term is loosely applied to major matches since the 17th century, it is better to think of major cricket as an all-embracing term that includes ListA as well as first-class. Hence, a player who represented Kent in the county match in 1709 is equally notable with a player who represented Kent CCC in the Twenty20 Cup in 2007. Please note that the failure to meet these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted; conversely, the meeting of any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept. These are merely rules of thumb which some editors choose to keep in mind when deciding whether or not to keep an article that is on articles for deletion. In addition, non-players who have made a notable contribution to cricket should have pages. These include benefactors, administrators, umpires, coaches, writers, broadcasters, historians and so on. With these, it is important to ensure that the article's content outlines the person's notability in terms of his or her contribution to the sport. There is bound to be a more subjective view of such contributions whereas an appearance in a first-class match enables a purely objective view to be taken. Note especially that the person must have earned notability in their own right; they are not notable if they are a member of a club. Please keep in mind that the article in question must actually document that the criterion is true. It is not enough to make vague claims in the article or rant about person's importance on a talk page or AfD page -- the article itself must document notability. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cricket article style guideWhilst naming and editing cricket-related articles, editors often encounter recurring questions of style. Wikiproject Cricket participants have agreed to the following style guidelines to keep a consistent look and feel to cricket articles throughout Wikipedia. These styles also fall within the WP:MOS guidelines and WP:NC policies. See also: Wikipedia:Manual of style
