Hi Stanley, I'm curious to know why Lorgat's notability is in question. He's been appointed to direct one of the most important sporting bodies in the world, and his appointment marks the first time a South African, a non-Australian, or a person of Indian descent has held the position. Given the importance of cricket in the English-speaking world and on the subcontinent, I would think many of the encyclopedia's readers would consider this notable. Two of the sources cited are widely-read newspapers. I can only assume coverage of the sort will continue throughout Lorgat's tenure, and with it, this article will expand. Malcolm Speed has his stub. Let's give this one a chance. Chrisvnicholson (talk) 21:13, 9 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
The reason is simple. Wikipedia has its "big ego small men" admins who are mostly Americans, and for whom America means the world. Notability is also measured from the American perspective. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.172.28.30 (talk) 17:30, 16 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
