Commnent - oddly, this has been tagged with a merge proposal for five months with no effort to do anything about it... once again, a significant number of PAF names to look through with threadbare article content, including international representatives. Bobo . 22:24, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree with that if the people who were busy destroying the project were trying to build it up instead. But you can't have your cake and eat it. Bobo . 16:58, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy merge per clear consensus at Talk:List of Pakistan Air Force cricketers#Merger proposal. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 17:06, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Commenting for the sake of being pragmatic, if we go to the stage of employing this for every team, we need to make sure every team has a comprehensive list of players in individual List of X cricketers articles. Something which I've been saying for the best part of the last fifteen years. Something which, not so long ago, almost every single person on the project was dead set against, even though they claim it is necessary now. How times change...

Strangely enough, it is me who is responsible for the compiling of most of these lists too. It's almost as if it's only the people who wanted to enhance the project were doing. Weird, that. Never mind. It's not as if I want to take any credit for doing that, any more than I want to take credit for enhancing the encyclopedia in this way. Bobo . 17:18, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CCC. Perhaps the expectation that minimal stubs would at some point be expanded has been replaced with the realisation that that is never going to happen because substantial sources simply do not exist. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 17:27, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it's not going to happen because the articles which are being questioned are mostly those worked on by only three editors, including myself. (I can't help but think there are only three people who have been bothered to do the legwork...) But we're getting off the point. My argument is, as it always has been, that these List of X articles would exist not just for the sake of existing but for the sake of navigation as well. It wasn't until long ago that every single person who would be commenting on these AfDs would have been dead set against articles like List of Gwalior cricketers. I hope you can understand my side of the argument here. Bobo . 17:34, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:NCRIC, or redirect to List of Pakistan Air Force cricketers. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 17:33, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - So used to these happening that I think we've grown tired of !voting these days. Bobo . 09:36, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
