[edit]

This article is a stub; in the wake of the last 24 hrs it has been nominated for deletion. However, the fact is, every Test series in history has its own pages with the sole exception of the post-apartheid series in the 90s/early 00s in South Africa. Many of those pages are stubs. There is no reason to delete these stubs but no others. Instead these stubs need to be brought in and then updated.

I reviewed it. It’s completely unsourced. The only reason it didn’t get considered for merging deletion or redirection is that I opted for SD and failed as the event it’s self is notable. There’s no info here which isn’t applicable to the article on the actual event. There’s also no sourcing to explain why the subject is notable outside of its parent subject (the event which took place). I’ll be checking back after a reasonable period (like a day) to see if sources have been added. I’ll probably AfD this if there are no other objections aside from those of people who keep restoring the unsourced material without improving it. Edaham (talk) 01:30, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
further More the page history is revealing some warring and edit summaries which are starting to become inflammatory. Keep at that and the people involved will find themselves having their editing privileges called into question. Edaham (talk) 01:32, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
At this stage I would object to AfD. There is a discussion at the cricket wikiproject about articles such as this just now that someone has started. I'd suggest that it might be better to allow that discussion to take its course before anything else is done - this has already gotten quite confused and a little nasty. Talking at the parent project would probably be a much better idea first - and, whilst anyone's at that - a list of the tour articles which are in question might be handy. That way people could judge them on an individual basis. I will consider working one of the tours involved up later on to see if I can demonstrate that some sorts of sources exist. Unfortunately these seem to be at that awkward time when there are a lack of online sources easily available. I will probably need to delete a redirect to do that I imagine - in order to demonstrate what can be done. Blue Square Thing (talk) 07:02, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
