Merge WikiProjects back into this project
[edit]There are a number of cricket-related WikiProjects that I believe would be best suited as taskforces of this project, which would enable collaboration whilst also understanding that articles on these tournaments need to follow guidelines of WP:CRIC. This was previously mentioned in 2021: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cricket/Archive 90#Creation of task forces. Would be good to get a firm consensus on whether or not to implement this. These breakaway WikiProjects have caused numerous problems over the years including:
- Frequent MOS:COLOR violations on articles and templates
- Misunderstanding of how article ratings work, by rating categories as "high importance"
- Violation of the WP:CRIC standard to only add teams to a player's infobox once they make an appearance (Allah Mohammad Ghazanfar being an example who was in IPL and LPL squads but did not play)
- Creating clutter on article talkpages as if someone plays one match in one of these tournaments, they get added to the WikiProject
- IPL project created templates for every match (60 per season), which led to a massive template clean up project a few years ago
All of these WikiProjects are for franchise T20 tournaments that run for 1-3 months a year, and their WikiProjects are dormant for the rest of the year, or are permanently inactive. They are as follows:
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Bangladesh Premier League - looks permanently inactive
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Lanka Premier League - been inactive for around 2 years, despite only being created in 2021
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Indian Premier League - looks to be inactive
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Pakistan Super League - looks to be inactive
In addition, I have separately nominated the recently created Wikipedia:WikiProject Women's Premier League (cricket) for deletion, but would be okay with this becoming a task force here too (but no merge is required as there is no history to keep). This post aims to satisfy Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide/Merging WikiProjects#Establish consensus for a merger by getting a consensus for or against this.

- These seem sensible. I had hoped when I revamped the project page, that these would be started by new recruits from r/cricket and other cricket platforms, but I never really found the time. AA (talk) 22:19, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment would be good to get a few more thoughts on this proposal, as only 3 unique editors have posted opinions. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:46, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

- @AssociateAffiliate not at all, there are editors; I feel like no one is aware about the existence of this talk page. I'll try tagging some editors from the above WikiProjects. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 12:53, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

- Agreed per nom. Task forces are a much better option in my opinion. Easier to manage and work within. As already said if people aren't interested than why have four-five different projects and leave them dormant. Wikibear47 (talk) 08:17, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- Agree per nom. I think task forces are much better than having a single WikiProject. For example, WikiProject Japan has many task forces under a single project which makes it easier to handle.

- Agree per nom. Task forces would probably work out better than the inactive Wikiprojects currently, and it might become easier to manage the never ending increase in T20 leagues. Hamza Ali Shah Talk 23:19, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support per nom. The WPs are all inactive and will likely remain such. Clog Wolf Howl 09:58, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- Agree per nom. Better to amalgamate and standardise approaches, particularly with the prospect of ever-more leagues popping up. CarnivalSorts (talk) 10:20, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
- Agree per nom. Ankurc.17 (talk) 07:46, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- Agree per nominator. In my opinion and as per other members creating task forces is far better than creating a single Wikiproject. Fade258 (talk) 15:36, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
Looks like we do have a consensus to merge this WikiProjects back into Cricket WikiProject. Instead of creating taskforces for Full members how about ICC regions... So, it could also cover associate nations as well.
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket/Africa cricket task force
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket/Americas cricket task force
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket/Asia cricket task force
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket/EAP cricket task force or Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket/East Asia-Pacific cricket task force
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket/Europe cricket task force
Additionally,
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket/ICC cricket task force or a similar name to focus on the events administrated by ICC itself such as WTC, World Cups, Qualifiers, Champions Trophy, Rankings, Awards etc. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 13:07, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

- Looks good to me.Godknowme1 (talk) 15:31, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- I can definitely get behind with this. My only main concern is that some of the task forces might be inactive most of the time due to little coverage. KjjjKjjj (talk) 09:06, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
- Both options seem Ok to me. Wikibear47 (talk) 07:19, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- Both options are fine with me, though continents are less likely to be inactive than country task forces (since they cover multiple countries). Joseph2302 (talk) 10:41, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- Seems alright to me. Hamza Ali Shah Talk 16:35, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Will O'Rourke GA reviewed by a sock
[edit]I am afraid, I don't think William O'Rourke (cricketer) article meets WP:GA criteria. It was reviewed by a sock puppeteer (User:Axjuo). Without any images, and not so broad coverage, I'd be even hesitant to rate it as B-class article. No prejudice against the article creator, or Will O'Rourke. Chanaka L (talk) 07:48, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Chanakal it seems so, but I would suggest taking this to Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations, where similar discussions have been held before. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 11:25, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
- Not sure how this got through without being spotted. It's wayyyyyyyyyyyy off being a GA. I'd rate it as Start Class. AA (talk) 12:33, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
