The result was redirect to List of Sri Lanka Police Sports Club cricketers. Boldly speedy close since we're all in agreement and the list now exists. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 19:45, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Single-appearance cricketer, no significant coverage located on a search. ~~No player list to redirect to.~~ Now there's a player list I'm very happy to say redirect. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 04:59, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If there were a List of Sri Lanka Police Sports Club cricketers then a redirect to there would be in order. There isn't and given his unspectacular appearance, the lack of any information about any other matches and the number of people who have played for the team, a list is unlikely to be created any time soon. In these sorts of cases we tend to simply delete - although if a list is created my opinion would obviously be for a redirect Blue Square Thing (talk) 08:50, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - As always, I'd say that a single "List of X cricketers" should exist for every club in situations like this. I wish I had thought of it at the time - way before the paywall existed on CA. It's still do-able, but since I've been so busy on other things, I've been too tired. Bobo . 09:35, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete in absence of suitable redirect~~ As BST states, the suitable list for redirect doesn't exist, and it being unlikely that suitable GNG passing sourcing exists on the subject, delete is likely the only option without a suitable WP:ATD unless the list is created in the near future.

Redirect to List of Sri Lanka Police Sports Club cricketers Updating my vote now that the page has been created as a suitable WP:ATD. I see the nom has no issue with redirect, if @Premeditated Chaos: wishes to close this and BOLDy redirect i'd have no objection. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 10:32, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of Sri Lanka Police Sports Club cricketers which was on my, er, list of things to do. I've been working through these lately after I realised that Chilaw Malians was the only SL first-class club with a list of players. There are 26 first-class clubs playing in Sri Lanka's Major League Tournament (this year's competition ended only a few days ago) and they all need a players' list. I've done fourteen now and I'll create the other twelve soon. Ten of the lists are incomplete with only one or two letters done so if anyone can help with population that would be appreciated. I use CricketArchive as the source, however. I've done the letter K for the PSC list as it includes Kamal Kiriella. Bc Jvs UTC 12:39, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
