- Redirect to List of Cambridge University Cricket Club players#T While there is some coverage of the subject, it is mainly WP:ROUTINE in match reports and squad announcements, so fails WP:GNG. However, there is a suitable redirect here per WP:ATD. Rugbyfan22 ( talk) 09:13, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. The list proposed as a redirect target needs deleting itself - and many of the cricketers on that list because they are sourced to directories.

- Lists like these are the common targets for players who passed old WP:NCRIC notability (such as this player who was notable for his appearances for Cambridge) before the change in guidelines last year. It's been a commonly accepted practice for years now. Sure, some of these lists need improving, and some still need created, but redirects like this allow us to preserve the history if information is found or turns up in the future and links to the article direct somewhere.

- Redirect. The above comment is nonsense regarding lists. This is suitable for a redirect per Rugbyfan22. StickyWicket ( talk) 11:37, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect as above. This is the best option in this case as he played most of his significant cricket for CU. If he does play for other teams in the future the redirect can be retargeted. Lists such as the one in place are used in a variety of contexts to deal with precisely his sort of case - and, fwiw, if we wanted to have multiple sources for each person on that list we could do; there is excellent coverage of most matches in The Times and other newspapers of record, as well as sourcing to Cambridge internal sources; we could, literally, have over 1,000 sources added to the article with time and effort.
