    GA article reviews

    [edit]

    Hello all! I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to review some GAN's I have listed at the moment? I'm more than happy to review any cricket articles in return that you might nominate for GA class.

    Example review here.

    Cheers in advance :) AA (talk) 17:45, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Review the Draft:2025 Abu Dhabi T10

    [edit]

    The 2025 Abu Dhabi T10 will be the ninth season of the Abu Dhabi T10. The matches are played with 10-over-a-side format with a time duration of 90 minutes. The tournament will be played from 18 November to 30 November 2025 at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi. Deccan Gladiators are the defending champions, having claimed their third title in the final of the previous edition. Vikas265 (talk) 06:49, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    These tournaments simply aren't notable. AA (talk) 22:38, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Agree- not notable, don't need season articles. Also, the purpose of this talkpage isn't to demand reviews of your drafts, that's what WP:AFC is for. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:28, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I see 2025 Abu Dhabi T10 has been created, which is likely why this draft was blanked by Vikas and the page subsequently deleted. I wonder quack quack? AA (talk) 21:36, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    ICC Tournament Logos in InfoBox

    [edit]

    One thing I wanted to raise, @OCDD has been changing a bunch of logos which I have ended up reverting on ICC Tournament Articles, [1], [2]. Now, I am not going to talk about them moving the page, but above the diffs of the image in the InfoBox. Look here: [3] and here: [4]. Anyways, here's another revision of OCDD'S preferred image in which they apparently claim consensus is needed for that simple revert (Appears they are claiming ownership of articles in my view): [5], [6], and now @Vestrian24Bio added this logo: [7]. Whilst I do think it is better than the previous ones, I strongly disagree and think we should use logo's in the InfoBox like the one on this revision: [8]. Anyways, I also think this should be the same for all ICC Tournament InfoBoxes, Men's Tournaments, Women's Tournaments, Under 19 Tournaments and Everything. As for tournaments with no file logo that is similar or reflective of the tournament in general and just a specific tournament, I think it would be better to just have no logo. I do think keeping it up to date by uploading a new logo every year can be done, but here are reasons I strongly disagree:

    • 1 We should be trying to reflect the tournament in general and not just one logo of tournaments that can change every year
    • 3 Unlike tournaments say like NRL (You may not know what this is unless you are from Australia or New Zealand), NFL, NHL, MLB, Premier League, NBA, which play their season every year and thus there are going to be many seasons before a logo change, ICC and World Cup events in General, (E.G. FIFA, World Rugby) are likely to either have a new logo for the new tournament (Which usually takes place only every 4 years), or only have the same logo for only a few years, and thus very few tournaments, if not only one get played with it, making it not reflective of the tournament in general.

    Anyways, I would like to know what you think of whether you Support or Oppose this idea of logos in InfoBoxes. Servite et contribuere (talk) 01:42, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    We definitely shouldn't be using a logo from a single instance of a WC as the logo for the top-level article. Some sizes of the Women's WC logo have been badly trimmed and you can still see the very top of the INDIA 25. The same goes for this which you can see the top of INDIA & SRI LANKA 2026
    Is there any indication that the top part is a generic logo that will be used across different instances? (The men's T20 one has been re-used, but with different colours)
    If we can't find a suitable long-term logo, would it be possible to use a photo of the actual trophies instead? Spike 'em (talk) 14:58, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Spike 'em If there is consensus to use trophies instead, that would be fine. That is how it used to be for a long time (I think for a long time). Here is just a revision (Just one I picked that did have it): [9]. Thanks giving that idea. I think we should, but before adding it in itself, I would actually prefer to actually hear from other editors as well to see if they agree or disagree. At bare minimum this should not be used. As for the trimming point, I actually didn't notice that, which for me is kind of surprising as I feel like I am able to read and see things within like a flash. Servite et contribuere (talk) 15:15, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment: There are these pages on Logopedia,
    From these, it's clear that ICC has been reusing same logo designs with different colors & subtitles since 2021 at least, although it differs historically. The contemporary solution would be to use the generalized logos.
    Also, there's a copyright problem with existing trophy images (some latest ones at least), will post about it soon... Vestrian24Bio 16:47, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Vestrian24Bio Don't think Logpedia looks like the best source in my view, also what is the copyright problem? I am open to just having no image whatsoever. If that works. Servite et contribuere (talk) 17:46, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    • According to ICC's BRAND AND CONTENT PROTECTION Guidelines (2023) - [...] used for news reporting purposes in non-commercial, editorial pieces without the ICC’s prior authorisation and Websites that provide information about the Event and are being operated on a purely non-commercial basis [...] are unlikely to infringe the ICC’s rights.

    Vestrian24Bio 13:51, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • Specific logo on specific event pages, general logo on the parent pages most of the logos are copyrighted and this is the only way that we satisfy WP:Image policy and meet all of the WP:NFCC. Any attempt to use general logos in specific event articles violates WP:GETTY point 14, and putting an event logo into the general article also fails NFCC. This imgae policy overrides how other people/websites choose to use logos. Joseph2302 (talk) 06:46, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    T20 Spring Challenge Notability Review

    [edit]

    Hello all! Is it possible that we could discuss the notability of T20 Spring Challenge? I have already tagged it for notability. If not notable in it's own right, a merge with Women's Big Bash League is an obvious WP:ATD. Let's review it shall we? Servite et contribuere (talk) 02:02, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Notability does seem questionable, I've checked sources and they are mostly only WP:ROUTINE coverage, no other independent coverage is available. Vestrian24Bio 04:49, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Certainly the two season articles would seem to be very dubious in terms of notability – 2024 T20 Spring Challenge and 2025 T20 Spring Challenge. They certainly need a tonne of cleanup, mainly removing and simplifying tables. I'd probably tend to delete those articles first – it's never a good sign when CricInfo's main page for the league says "No content found". There's more chance that the league article survives at AfD, along the lines of the Top End T20 Series where the 2024 (AfD) and 2025 (AfD) seasons were both deleted Blue Square Thing (talk) 12:00, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Blue Square Thing On the source where it said "No content found" there actually was content for matches, and there is something here: [10] [11]. But they are primary sources. I think a Selective merge is appropriate. E.G. information on matches could me merged into a new section on the Pre Season, but we don't really need information on the squads for example. Servite et contribuere (talk) 15:14, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    We need content that is more than just a database listing to demonstrate notabaility, which is what the cricinfo scorecards are. They seemingly have no prose reporting on the tournament. Spike 'em (talk) 15:22, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Spike 'em It is basically a pre season tournament for the WBBL. Only notability it has is it is part of the WBBL. The Brisbane Heat website says it is: [12]. I might have to make a preview on Test cases on a new user subpage. Servite et contribuere (talk) 15:25, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The lack of reporting is the problem throughout this. I'd say send the two season articles to AfD first and then consider the overall article - which has more merit or might be merged to Women's Big Bash League where it doesn't appear to even be mentioned Blue Square Thing (talk) 10:32, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment I have a preview of what it might look like if we do merge. It could do with some minor content changes. This should probably be a sandbox and is a misunderstanding of what Testcases are, but anyways, we make mistakes and learn from them. Here it is: User:Servite et contribuere/Testcases. Pinging all in discussion @Blue Square Thing @Spike 'em @Vestrian24Bio. Servite et contribuere (talk) 15:58, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    And this is just for one season. We can do more later TBH. Of course, don't forget about WP:NODEADLINE. Servite et contribuere (talk) 15:59, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I'd say the scorecards could be diluted further, similar to the World Cup Warm-up matches, but without the collapsible. Vestrian24Bio 16:27, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Vestrian24Bio There is already one like this on 2016–17 Big Bash League season for collapses. Servite et contribuere (talk) 16:29, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Let's follow that format then, that way main fixtures will stay focused. Vestrian24Bio 16:32, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    There seems way too much there. If we're going to include all the scorecards there's just simply too much information – I honestly thought they were for the main BBL competition. Personally I'd rather have two paragraphs summarising any pre-season activity – as Spike says above, scorecards are externally held data that we could link to using a reference. But then I tend to think we have far too many scorecards and far too much data held within them anyway Blue Square Thing (talk) 10:32, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Blue Square Thing I don't agree with the idea of too much. Let's just create a section that can be a redirect. I just want a bit of time to look for an appropriate ATD. Servite et contribuere (talk) 10:38, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Blue Square Thing Well something needs to be done. Servite et contribuere (talk) 10:40, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I've edited down the base article and will add in some history stuff quickly to that. That leaves the two season articles pretty much redundant unless anyone can find any prose reporting that's worth adding Blue Square Thing (talk) 10:51, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Blue Square Thing This is literally a disagreement between you and me I guess. I do favour a redirect to the season articles for pre season, but for the main article, ultimately, there is very little to merge. Not like the stats leaders and broadcasters ETC, but there isn't much content anyways. I feel like it's just about which content shall get merged. Servite et contribuere (talk) 10:58, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I've sent both season articles to AfD with notes about possible redirections. That's the only way we'll get to a consensus here I think – and I think there's enough time to do so. We can think about the main article after that perhaps Blue Square Thing (talk) 11:09, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    New articles request

    [edit]

    Requested two articles - BCCI Centre of Excellence • BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground

    National Cricket Academy article is present, either this can be updated, or new article can be created.

    For second request, new article is required. The ground is going to host FC games between Ind A and SA A in Nov-20205.

    Official status

    [edit]

    Hi all. Can Nepal Premier League is regarded as the highest domestic T20 league? Like other leagues i.e Indian Premier League, Lanka Premier League etc. Fade258 (talk) 14:19, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    It is the highest league in Nepal, however that doesn't grant automatic notability for anything (I believe there's a depreciated notability guideline that used to assert automatic notability for this). Certainly the coverage of NPL is lower than IPL and even probably LPL, and coverage is what's important for creating articles. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:09, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Joseph2302. Thanks for the clarification. Fade258 (talk) 02:39, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm working on a new proposal for notability of cricket competitions, but it will take a few more weeks to be presented. Vestrian24Bio 16:29, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi @Vestrian24Bio. Sounds good. Hope it helps to improve the notability guidelines. Fade258 (talk) 01:48, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Is the Southern Cross trophy really a perpetual trophy?

    [edit]

    The second least most recent perpetual trophy is the Sobers–Tissera Trophy which was last held in 2021–22. The Southern Cross Trophy was last held in Australia in 2003–04, over 20 years ago - making it the least most recent perpetual trophy. Does the Southern Cross Trophy really still deserve to be designated as "perpetual" if it has not been contested in that long? DiamondIIIXX (talk) 08:56, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Whose idea was it to have a dark blue background / blue text on the Sobers-Tissera page?
    Are there any more SL related articles that do the same? Spike 'em (talk) 10:25, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    "Tournament history" sections in national team articles

    [edit]

    I think there is need to bring in a uniform template or layout that we follow for national teams' tournament records. Especially considering multiple international tournaments emerging these days, I propose we follow the layout used in the Scotland cricket team page, where primarily we list detailed tables of the team's performance in tournaments like Cricket World Cup & Cricket World Cup Qualifier and similarly T20 World Cup & regional final tournaments for men/global qualifier for women. Following this we can have the top most continental tournaments like Asia Cup and the South American Championship. Rest of the tournaments and all of the defunct tournaments can be listed within a common table with just their final standings and promotion/relegation information. What say?
