General edit

Redlinks edit

There are currently ZERO Worcestershire cricketers without an article.

The plan edit

  1. Make sure that every single player has something. It doesn't have to be much, so long as it's enough to assert notability and protect the article from deletion.
  2. Check that players are not already listed elsewhere, eg under different names, or as more famous for something else.
  3. Add infoboxes to those players who don't have them.
  4. Standardise infoboxes on those articles which still use older formats.
  5. Add sections to articles which are long enough to justify it.
  6. (The difficult bit!) Find more information, ideally from sources other than CricketArchive and Cricinfo.

Notes edit

  1. Players must have made at least one first-class or List A (not just Twenty20) appearance for Worcestershire.
    1. I am aware that Twenty20 appearances are now considered notable by the WikiProject. I'll deal with T20-only players, if nobody else has, as and when!
  2. The symbol (A) after a player's name indicates that he played only one-day cricket for the county.
  3. Use Cricinfo and CricketArchive; debut info from the seasons page on Worcs' CA subsite.
  4. "Done" merely means an article exists in some form. No attempt has been made to sort stubs from non-stubs.
  5. Note Wikipedia:Citation templates for books etc.
  6. There are a quite ridiculous number of 1920s cricketers!

Infoboxes edit

  1. Template:Infobox cricketer biography for preference (eg Darren Gough and Charles Lyttelton, 10th Viscount Cobham)
  2. Test & ODI player: Template:Infobox Cricketer
  3. Test but not ODI (old): Template:Infobox Historic Cricketer
  4. Test but not ODI (modern): Template:Cricketer Infobox
  5. First-class only: Template:Infobox Old Cricketer
  6. First-class and List A: Template:Infobox Recent Cricketer
