Grounds and tours and clubs edit

Can I suggest we replace the rather odd paragraph we have on grounds with:

Grounds which have been used for top-level first-class, List A or T20 cricket by a notable team are considered likely to be notable. This includes international cricket. The grounds of notable clubs below top-level are generally not notable unless they have been used by top-level sides.

Or something. That might be a bit wordy. What we have currently says that the grounds regularly used by, say, Beckenham and Sydenham are notable - which I'm not sure is what we want.

For tours, which we never resolved:

International Test or one-day cricket tours by full member sides are generally considered notable. Tours by "A" teams or age-group sides are not notable.

I think that will work for now as a way of making sure we avoid the *** A tour articles. We might need to consider tours of full member countries by other teams on which ODIs etc... were played.

For clubs, it might be worth making some mention that clubs which used to play in those leagues are also likely to be notable.

And matches: individual matches are unlikely to be notable unless there were specific events during it to make it particularly noteworthy for historical purposes. I hate that wording, but it's a start. Thoughts? Blue Square Thing (talk) 10:27, 4 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
