Requested move

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: move the pages to Bridges (cricketer, born 1780s) and Bridges (cricketer, born 1790s), per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 01:38, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bridges (1808 cricketer) → ? – Probably Bridges (Homerton cricketer). The year is used, I assume, per this. Any other alternative like Bridges (cricketer), Bridges (English cricketer), or Bridges (1800s cricketer) are not available due to Bridges (Cambridgeshire cricketer). --Relisted.

Comment isn't this a 1E notable person? Shouldn't this just be merged to a list of cricket accomplishments article? -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 14:32, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- This could be merged with Cambridgeshire cricketer to form a set index article at Bridges (cricketer) or as entries at Bridges (surname) -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 14:37, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Move this article to Bridges (cricketer, born 1780s) and move Bridges (Cambridgeshire cricketer) to Bridges (cricketer, born 1790s). Or move this to Bridges (cricketer) with a hatnote for the other guy (and one on that page back to this one). Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 16:38, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support first option. It is unlikely, though not impossible, that the Homerton and CTC players are the same person, so we cannot merge into one article. Both players had proven first-class experience and so meet WP:CRIN as notable players and must have individual articles. I think we should move them to, as Lugnuts suggests, the Bridges (cricketer, born 1780s) and Bridges (cricketer, born 1790s) options as it is de facto our norm in CRIC to use YOB rather than team in a DAB title. I would point out that the Cambridge man is not known to have played for Cambridgeshire County Cricket Club; he played for Cambridge Town Club which, though a precursor of sorts, was not actually the same thing, so that article should be moved in any event.
