Unencyclopaedic

edit

I've added the Unencyclopedic tag because it is not a valid article. It is a mass of statistics, all of which are duplicated in the individual tour and series articles, and it represents a clear breach of WP:NOT#STATS. BlackJack | talk page 05:49, 25 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

It is an article showing all of the tours in the one season, individual tour pages have a lot more information then the simple, teams participating and winners. Also why were all countries flags removed, they made the page much easier to find certain teams, and it looks really bland now. Davo499 (talk) 10:35, 1 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Davo, see here: [1] for why the flags have been removed. JP (talk) 11:57, 1 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Boys, the page now looks boring, messy and dull without the flags. The flags were added (to a previous edition of this page) to make it much more readable. I think they must be restored. Also, the page is very encyclopaedic as for any cricket fan every international game is significant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shellene (talkcontribs) 08:24, 2 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

This isn't exactly an encyclopedia article, but it is really useful and I'd like it to be kept. Like the disambiguation pages, it is an aid to navigation, helping you find the articles on individual matches and tours, some of which are proper articles, and the rest should be when they are finished. Alternatively pages like this could become real articles if someone writes an overview of the season. This might be easier to do in a year or so with hindsight, in the meantime this serves as a placeholder reminding us it needs doing. 198.142.12.120 (talk) 07:15, 26 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
