Hello, Batagur baska,
I had to rollback a lot of your edits because you created 64 broken redirect articles that would have otherwise been deleted. For some reason, you redirected existing articles and pointed them all at non-existent pages. This created broken redirects and those pages are deleted by an admin or on of our bots. If you want to redirect an article, please don't make mass changes and also ALWAYS point them towards an existing target article, not to a blank page. While we are encouraged to "Be Bold", this kind of mass mistake can result in valid pages being mistakenly deleted so please don't rush through projects like this without checking your work. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 19:14, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
What criterion are you using? — Usedtobecool ☎️ 01:31, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
Yes, User:BilledMammal raised an RFC some time ago which resulted in a complete rewrite of WP:NSPORTS and all the individual sports' notability guidelines. Cricket, football and the Olympics were heavily criticised for holding excessive stubs which failed the GNG. As a result, countless stubs have been taken to AFD and, although efforts were made to try and invoke WP:ATD-R, many were deleted. BilledMammal has a number of hit lists such as User:BilledMammal/LUGSTUBS by sport (A to G), naming articles that will be draftified or removed (I'm not au fait with the details). "LUGSTUBS" refers to User:Lugnuts, who was banned a couple of years ago for, among other things, mass-creating short stubs which reference only a database and have little hope of expansion. I gather the number of these "micro-stubs" is in six figures!
Anyway, the position with cricket stubs is that they must comply with WP:GNG. Any which are sourced only to databases, or match reports, for example, can be bundled up and taken to AFD. Redirecting is fine per ATD and has the benefits of saving article histories and saving time at AFD. If you need details of what the RFC was about, you could ask BilledMammal personally, or see the VP proposal which leads to Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Sports notability. I can't really tell you much more than that.
I found out about the RFC after I started trying to co-ordinate the contents of Category:Cricket stubs and its subcats. At first, I thought I was just tidying a mess, but then I realised I also need to preserve the stubs (or, at least, their histories) and presently I'm working my way through Category:Asian cricket biography stubs, which includes the Nepal ones.
Hope some of this helps. Thanks. Batagur baska ( talk) 16:06, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
