Also, please keep in mind that the article in question must actually document that the criterion is true. It is not enough to make vague claims in the article or rant about person's importance on a talk page or VfD page -- the article itself must document notability. |

==Cricket article style guide== |
|||
The naming and content of Cricket related articles often have recurring questions of style. [[WP:Cricket]] members have agreed to the following style guidelines: |
|||
* Always use capital '''T''' when referring to [[Test cricket]]. |
|||
* Where a person is best known by their initials and surname (as in [[W. G. Grace]]), use either [[W. G. Grace]] or [[WG Grace]], depending on the article creators personal preference, and always create a [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirect]] to the other style. Avoid using [[W.G.Grace]], [[W G Grace]] or [[William Gilbert Grace]]. ''(see unresolved debate & vote at [[Wikipedia:Naming_conventions#Initials|WP:Naming conventions]], and [[Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions/archive3#Vote:_spaces_after_periods_between_initials.3F_.2826.2F32.29|discussion]])'' |
|||
* When referring to a cricket season spanning two years, use a hypen and the last two digits of the second year as in [[International cricket in 2005-06]] or [[New Zealand cricket team in Zimbabwe in 2005-06]] |
|||
* Bowling/team score formats. to be done. |

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better expand and organise information in articles related to the sport of cricket. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians.

Criteria guideline for article inclusion
WP:Cricket members have adopted the following guidelines for notability of a cricket person for an article in Wikipedia:
Please note that the failure to meet these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted; conversely, the meeting of any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept. These are merely rules of thumb which some editors choose to keep in mind when deciding whether or not to keep an article that is on articles for deletion. In particular, players from the early days of cricket (such as those from before the 19th century) cannot meet these criteria as they pre-date the era of first-class cricket - notable pre-19th century players and benefactors should also have pages. Also, please keep in mind that the article in question must actually document that the criterion is true. It is not enough to make vague claims in the article or rant about person's importance on a talk page or VfD page -- the article itself must document notability.
