I seem to mostly be finding databases but not much in depth detail. It seems his only known time playing cricket is playing in one first-class match and getting dismissed with a score of zero. TartarTorte 18:55, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kommentar - intriguing name, intriguing spelling. There must be something that we can find about this individual from easily-obtained sources. Bobo . 21:51, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There is some stuff about him on BNA. He was a schoolmaster and was charged with offences against 5 boys, though I am unsure of the nature of those charges as I still haven't got my BNA access back. He can definitely be expanded. StickyWicket aka AA (talk) 22:48, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Someone must be able to access it... I can't help but think this means the nominator didn't do much work in order to find new information... Bobo . 09:20, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd drop a note on the project talk page, a couple of people on there have access to the BNA. StickyWicket aka AA (talk) 20:48, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Redirect to List of Essex County Cricket Club players While there appears to be some coverage in the BNA here, I'm not sure there will be enough for a GNG pass still. If someone can access and then expand the article then excellent, however redirecting in the meantime saves the page history until that time comes.

Redirect as above per the long established consensus that this is what we do if we can't find anything. A note can be added to the article summarising what we do know as well. Blue Square Thing (talk) 11:17, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
