List of international cricket centuries by Faf du Plessis

WP:TOOMUCH warns against excessive detail, etc. and directs to WP:LISTCRUFT which deprecates "lists for sake of having a list". All of these lists fail because the subjects do not meet the agreed qualification of 25 centuries minimum imposed to prevent flooding of the site with such lists. See Template:International cricket centuries setting the standard of 25 centuries minimum. Protea caffra ( talk) 07:11, 7 April 2018 (UTC) reply

Comment WP:TOOMUCH does not say anything about lists, so to put such a statement in quotes is disingenuous. On the other hand WP:LISTCRUFT says :

"The list should originate as a section within that article, and should not be broken out into a separate article until it becomes so long as to be disproportionate to the rest of the article."

so if the article does get deleted the content should be merged back into Faf Du Plessis.

There is nothing in the template linked that shows that there is any consensus that a List article is not created until a player reaches 25 centuries, only that they are not added to that template until such a level is reached. Spike 'em ( talk) 14:44, 7 April 2018 (UTC) reply

Note to closing admin

The user that started this discussion has now " retired" after suspicions were raised about them being a sock of a blocked user. I'd recommend this is closed, with no objection to another user raising this at AfD, if they feel strongly about it. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 17:38, 8 April 2018 (UTC) reply

And the creator of the AfD has been blocked as a sock. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 11:17, 9 April 2018 (UTC) reply
