@KylieTastic Please refer to the "ECB Umpires List" template at the bottom of several notable figures pages - for example; Michael Gough (cricketer)

As you will be able to see, there are only 5 professional umpires without pages (red names), out of the team of 30+, and I am looking to complete these pages for overall completeness in this area of cricket. Overcast77 (talk) 17:35, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

• Being an "ECB Umpire" is not inheritability notable and by the look of it several of the existing ones either are just missing sources or are not-notable and need deleting. All new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage (WP:SIGCOV) in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). Your current sources are just passing mentions. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 18:13, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
