According to this article itself ("top grade", etc), the subject appears to satisfy WP:CRIN. But I'm extremely suspicious that a notable cricket team would only be mentioned once on all of wikipedia (on Raymond Terrace).

Article has been flagged as "may not meet notability guidelines" since 2016 to no apparent comment. I don't think it passes a typical WP:GNG, since the coverage I was able to find is pretty routine. As someone who knows basically nothing about cricket, I'm happy to withdraw this AfD early and clear that tag if someone who does know about cricket can confidently state that the team is notable. The sources for the article at present are a disaster, but Google does turn up some (local) media coverage - it would be possible to improve this article, but there's no point in doing that if someone will just come by later to kill it for not being notable in the first place. asilvering (talk) 18:33, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete doesn't appear to pass WP:GNG, and they appear to just be a local team. Joseph2302 (talk) 20:36, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Appears to fail WP:NCRIC and WP:GNG, could perhaps be redirected to Raymond Terrace but that may be undue. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 09:43, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom, club doesn't satisfy the Cricket Project's club inclusion guidelines. StickyWicket (talk) 23:05, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Wikipedia has too many long boring articles about local sports clubs and teams. Hopefully we can write a guideline someday on their notability. Rogermx (talk) 20:24, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
