the cricket matches in England for 2006, while the season is going on, it would be far more appropriate to make an article called "Cricket Matches in England (2006 season)" or something of the like. Then use the on-going event template to title the top of the page. When the page overflows, as there seems to be many matches, branch the article according to either by team, or date, or whatever organization has been planned. The current approach seems to be that you write a sport result for a particular event then incorporate them into a higher level article. The planning and writing of an article should be rather reversed. It should start from a single article, then branch out to many articles, highlighting the important key matches, and separating out the minor matches. This is consistant for what we do for fictional minor characters. We don't have a page for every fictional minor character in Star Wars, but we have a collective page of fictional minor characters in Star Wars.

someone has to look after all these articles, and my guess is that the creators of most of these articles will be long-gone next year, leaving someone else to maintain them. And while Knowledge (XXG) may not be paper, it definitely is server space, screen real estate, and search engine fodder. All of these things can get chewed up by the enormous amount of grossly unencyclopedic stuff that has been being pushed past editors in the past year. It wasn't long ago that there would have been no argument whatsoever about the fate of a single-game article. (That was the time when we were still arguing over Pokemon articles. Lost that battle...) Personally, I would prefer if we could mount at least a semblance of sanity here and remember not only what Knowledge (XXG)'s goals are, but what they
519:, encyclopedias are not almanacs. It is not encyclopedic to record every single event of a sports season. The proponents of inclusion argue that the individual match articles are valuable because they are part of a process yielding a single article for the season. Besides cluttering the article space in the meantime, I would respond that that argument is irrelevant, because the resulting merged material itself -- informal, journalistic accounts of every single match -- is not appropriate for Knowledge (XXG). I am not a hater of sports, I am a sports fan myself of U.S. baseball and football and ice hockey. (I even know the basics of, and enjoy watching, cricket.) But I don't think Knowledge (XXG) should attempt to be an almanac for those sports, and the fans who keep up things like the 1606:
suggestion, which hasn't been mentioned by anyone so far, is that this would be a very suitable topic for a WikiBooks project. So maybe for next season, a group of interested people could get together and make the Wiki English Cricket Almanac 2006 (or whatever). Then people deeply interested in cricket can get all the detailed reports from the almanac, and people writing encyclopedic summaries of the season or of specific teams can take source material from the finished almanac to use directly in Knowledge (XXG). All these articles could include a template box up near the top that says something like "For more detailed information on the 2006 English cricket season, see WikiBooks:ECA2006". My personal thoughts:
1911:, then it should be moved to a subpage of a project or user page. They may, however contribute to a larger encompassing event, like the entire season of Cricket for the 2006 season. Then any match that is deemed minor is placed in a collective minor result page of Cricket for the 2006 season. Any match that is deemed critical may deserve its own article once the season article expands significantly further. Split the season match page to separate large encompassing sport results using some kind of organization like matches with this home team of the 2006 season, or by date, when the season match page is too large. -- 1360:. They also violate "not a free host", costing the project a bunch of not-paper. The intended future merge doesn't justify spending current time in article-space. It sounds more like an argument to move to user pages. Really, this should be going on in somebody's own computer and posted to a Geocities type of page. All that ought to be on WP servers is encyclopedic articles, drafts of encyclopedic articles if multiple editors are working on them, and Wikinews feeds on a league's championship (whether a big game or tournament finals or season standings). 1494:
contain sports information. Why stop them doing that? If that's what they want to do, why stop them? It doesn't do any harm to Knowledge (XXG)'s image or the content of the rest of the encyclopedia. By the way, we are discussing English championship cricket. League cricket is something different entirely. Remember this is a wiki. More than that, it's a website, so anyone can take what they want and leave the rest. Why not allow people to write about what they want to write about? Yours is a sure way to remove contributors.
1425:
that they are only harming the feelings of those with chips on their shoulders about sports results not being intellectual enough. Another fact is that these articles (if we are to define them as such) are far more notable than Pokemon. The basic argument about keeping Pokemon is "there's verifiable information, it doesn't really do us any harm, why not let the author write about what they want to write about?" I think the exact same argument applies here. My most important point, that the articles are soon to be merged, has
672:: I'm all for collecting these articles into season summaries, but having a separate article for every match is just clutter. It also sets a dangerous precident for any other kind of sporting match. I don't think the 'It's only temporary' argument holds much water either, since at best an admin would have to then go and delete all the articles once the season is over, and at worst the people maintining the articles will leave and leave the clutter behind. - 854:
final would be the only two matches to be applicable for such treatment, but most followers of county cricket would say that those matches hold no more importance to them than a County Championship match. This would then have to be determined for each individual case on each season's talk pages - resulting in a lot of disjoint debates. And, because it is only parts of the content that is up for deletion, this can not be taken to AfD (using the example of
1988: 1161:. That is to say, before long, they will be part of a set of grander articles. This is a temporary stage. They aren't great articles in their own right, but they soon will be. Why come and attempt to disrupt a process of article creation? It would be possible to create them in user space or in the Knowledge (XXG): namespace. But this would be highly undesirable as it would mean we have no such summary articles in the meantime. 1382:"All that ought to be on WP servers is encyclopedic articles". Well, that's just what we're debating, isn't it? Whether the actual content is encyclopedic or not. Basically, I would argue that since it is possible to write verifiable, NPOV content about individual sports games - even regular season games - the content should be kept. To take an example again - would anyone complain greatly if I mentioned in a coming article on 1692:. They're aiming to create textbooks, not almanacs. So basically, if it's aimed to have an encyclopedic summary of the season, then it's not going to be on Wikibooks. However, I'm still to hear any good arguments against merging the pages into a full season review for each club and each competition, which I fully support and will probably need help to do from some friendly administrator when the pages are fully cleaned up. 440:; only serious fans of those particular sports and teams care about it: "Fancruft is a term referring to detailed information that people (often characterised as fans of the subject in question) add to Knowledge (XXG). People who oppose the inclusion of this information often claim that it is of minimal interest to non-fans." We could probably add the end results of our discussion here to the fancruft article as well. -- 1247:
cry). As for not addressing any of your other points, that's true, but it was outside the intended scope of my own response. My intent was not to tackle the cricket articles on their own merit, but merely to question your interpretation of the rules. I'm busy doing a lot of stuff right now and currently lack the time to counter all your points, so I just picked one that stood out.

pot. So if it is possible to leave the cricket articles for two weeks (possibly retracting the delete votes on the grounds that "these articles will be merged later on, and this does not form a consensus for future sports articles"?), then they will be merged and the individual articles deleted from sight, and new such articles will be created in user space. OK?
2030:. Regardless of that slow boat, I feel WP needs a good yardstick to measure all these sports results pages against. Many, many editors are expending many, many hours of honest effort, thinking they're contributing to a better, brighter WP, but other editors are in opposition -- resulting in wasted effort, hurt feelings, and considerable strife. IMHO, naturally. 948:
be in the main namespace even for a few months, and I don't like to see articles in the main namespace that are planned to be deleted. It was better when they were subpages of "2005 English cricket season", but someone objected to that for some rather weak reason to do with transclusion of subpages being allegedly forbidden.
595:
period. WP not being paper means, as I see it, that one article per season, one per team, one for each main tactical and strategical detail of the sport have their place here, one for some main players... But definately not every match. WP is not paper but it ain't infinite either, neither physically nor in human resources.
1933:
I am not sure what you mean by sub-pages. If you mean pages preceeded by / (Eg: wiki/Team_Season/game) please note that sub-pages are not encouraged in the article space. Articles in the aritcle space need to stand on their own as articles. If people are just working on a draft, they should do so
1900:
The main article space should not be a container for sport results that plan to be merged into a future article. Rather, subpages are far more appropriate for this situation or organize several main articles and describe them as an on-going event. For example, if someone wanted the sport results of
1632:
This same approach could be used by fans of any other sport that wish to include detailed summaries of every game. So there should be no worries about setting a bad precedent here. (I personally am concerned that someone will take the 2005 English cricket season articles exactly as an excuse to start
968:
Merge the lot in whatever page the creators intend to make them end up in when the article's claimed temporary status passes. It only causes a lot of unneccesary moves and merges. Just think big and start writing an article that lists all connected matches. If you write seperate entries there's bound
947:
However, I do not think that the process should be repeated in the same form next year. I think putting the articles in the main namespace was a big mistake. How was the person who just finds this one article supposed to know the whole plan? I also think that insufficiently notable articles shouldn't
2015:, there is still confusion about pages with sports match results. Many are being AfD'ed, some with result DELETE, some with result KEEP or MERGE ... WP needs (this is my perspective) a central policy/guideline to differentiate between encyclopedic articles about sports seasons, without violating the 1957:
My worry about sports score articles is that they would be temptations to break Wiki's rules about Plagarism and first-hand research. I think this is true of anything where the Wiki article is going to read almost exactly like a newspaper article. If there is a sure-fire way to solve these two big
1460:
Even when the articles are merged, the actual content is unencyclopedic and not appropriate content for Knowledge (XXG). The discussion was framed as "Sports results", not "Individual articles about sports results", and while it focuses on the the individual cricket match articles as an example, the

details of his standout performances in English cricket this season? Doubt it. So why is this content a problem when the details are written under the title of a particular competition or a particular team? (Note: I've pretty much gone away from arguing that matches deserve a single article - I just
1246:
So there was a discussion. Splendid, discussion is good, but that does not mean that WP:NOT ceases to matter or loses importance just because some people don't like it. When the community's consensus is that WP:NOT hurts Knowledge (XXG) and it becomes one of the inactive rules, let me know (so I can
1005:
To Mgm and Raven: The point is that each match appears on several different pages β€” at a minimum, one for each team, and one for the specific competition that they're playing in (there are several different competitions being played concurrently). By editing the match, you automatically edit all the
955:
I'd also like to note in passing that the premise of the question contains a geographically-biased assumption. The talk of "championship events" really doesn't exist in the same way outside North America. The winner of the season is the team which finishes with the highest league position β€” there is
873:
I think everybody who wants deletion has their own goals on this, honestly. Personally, I'm in favour of the second option you list (merging them into seasonal reviews). But I'm sure there are people out there who prefer the first. That's part of the problem with dividing an argument ilke this up on
627:
I learned about the Cricket pages and this controversy when I clicked on "random article" this morning. I came here because I immediately knew the article did not belong on Knowledge (XXG) - it's not encyclopedic. My vote is speedy deletion, but would understand if someone wants to create a page for
580:
So the raw data that goes into that is not an article in its own right. It might be appropriate to create the main season's page immediately to remind everyone that that's what we're working towards, but have subpages for the individual events (with the intention of subsequently removing those that
231:
There are, however, quite a significant number of notable TV shows. The amount of matches in the 2005 English cricket season, btw, is something in the region of 500 (there's 538 in the category, but that includes all the pages the content is transcluded into). And let me just give a hypothetical use
88:
Practically all the others -- like league cricket matches, football games, baseball games, etc. -- are properly the province of media which are designed for listing and collecting sports results. Knowledge (XXG) is not a daily newspaper or news/sports web site. It is not an almanac of cricket or any
1493:
articles are being worked upon. Why should we deny ourselves a article in the mean time? To your second point, are you really saying that something verifiable, true, and not original research should be deleted? This isn't ever supposed to be news content. Some people want to have Knowledge (XXG)
1134:
First question: what harm do these pages do? Is someone seriously going to come to Knowledge (XXG), see a sports result and think "Knowledge (XXG) must be rubbish"? I think not. If there is another reason why it would be harmful, I would be glad to hear it. If the only reason is "it hasn't been
1111:
All this being so, I think I'd agree with those who say that the individual articles are rather out of place in the main namespace, even as a temporary measure, but also agree with those who say that the information in them is not in itself unencylopedic, and that they are therefore appropriate for
1034:
Yeah. That happened originally (having them as subpages of Knowledge (XXG):WikiProject Cricket). Then they got moved out of Knowledge (XXG) space because mirrors didn't pick up the transclusion (that was actually the argument against it back in May - it's down in the Village pump archives) I think,
943:
I agree that individual sports events shouldn't have articles. The people writing the cricket articles claim to be doing something different, however β€” the articles are supposed to be temporary, as a convenient way of writing season reviews for each team and each competition without duplicating the
1549:
Yes, but there's a difference between huge, unmaintanable lists that are quite obviously never going to be complete and of very little research value, compared to a seasonal review of a team's performance, which may be a source for external research for people writing biographies about cricketers,
1466:
For the record, I think the Pokemon-cruft and similar content is also not suitable for Knowledge (XXG), but if there is a distinction it might be that the fan base for Pokemon is tens or hundreds of millions of people in a large number of countries, while the fan base for English league cricket --
1424:
To your last point, well, um, yes. Did anyone disagree with that? May I ask who is really going to turn up at WP and think, "hmm, a cricket match. This encyclopaedia must be crap."? That's if they even find the things anyway. It's not as if there are links right, left and centre. The fact is

in the Monty Panesar article but would (and do) object to the same information as its own article because it's just that: a detail. It has encyclopedic merit solely as information describing some other subject, but can't stand on its own as a subject. Encyclopedic Details and Encyclopedic Topics
1085:
I'm in the "mixed feelings" camp here, which may disappoint some of my fellow WikiProject editors a little I suppose. I must admit that I don't particularly like the idea of temporary articles in the main namespace, but on the other hand that was only done because writing them in userspace stopped
853:
Arbitrary notability standards. Not all sports have championship matches, for a start, nor does it follow automatically that a championship final is more notable and worthy of inclusion than a regular season match - in the case of English county cricket, the C & G Trophy final and Twenty20 Cup
838:
obviously cries out for an article, even though it was largely reported on by the media and probably would not get an article in a print encyclopedia. Indeed, seasonal sports results are often published in both general-interest almanacs and sports-specific almanacs, and in supplementary volumes to
606:
Knowledge (XXG) is not, and never has been, intended to be a reencapsulation of the entire internet. Yet we keep getting these articles which really want to live on some sports site somewhere. I have no problems with articles on sports, or even articles which are season summaries for a league, but
591:
Individual sports matches are not encyclopedic with a very few exceptions. They are news material, not encyclopedia's. They are unmantainable: there are at least thousands of matches, and other such sports events, of top national/worldwide level competitions and of notable sports every week. Every
283:
Um, right. So the argument is: "The information exists elsewhere, hence we don't need it on WP." Enjoy listing every single one of the 720,000 articles on WP for deletion, based on that argument. Sports are important to people, just as music and TV are, hence it is notable (with the low notability
175:
I can agree to. Major events like these can have articles of their own, but any single match is to me an automatic delete vote. Any sports match worth having a separate article on is part of a bigger picture. Either it's a part of a tournament, in which case it should be merged with the tournament
1722:
I disagree that the current project has to be shunted off to Wikibooks in light of the fact that some people (not a consensus - SOME people) want it to be deleted. I think Vimes' compromise about making each individual result part of a larger page for each club, which will avoid "clutter" that so
1676:
This isn't bad. People who are interested in the results would obviously be linked to Wikibooks from the Knowledge (XXG) article on the season in question, so people would know where the information is. I kinda like this, although I'm not sure what the Wikibooks crowd would think. If this ends up
1410:
Right...I get that. And if you've seen my arguments all over this page, it's basically the same as what you're suggesting (even though I have been creating nearly 300 of these articles with details) - that they may well be merged into larger articles detailing the history of a team, and I have no
1154:. These pages are verifiable. Why then delete? Cricket scores are inherently easier to verify than, say, football (soccer) scores or baseball scores as the scorecard explains every bit of progress in the game. That it is not immediately comprehensible to a non-afficionado is hardly our fault. 774:
in Knowledge (XXG), and I didn't want to just assert it in a conclusionary manner. But really, what is notable about a regularly-scheduled sporting event? Yes, it is viewed (ephemerally) by a large number of people, but so are a number of scheduled, live entertainments. We do not have things like
338:
I agree with what Peter said above. While these contributions are good, they're not necessarily appropriate for an encyclopedia; teams and players are notable and encyclopedic; individual regular-season matches are not. If they are particularly extraordinary, it's certainly worth mentioning the
128:
OK, I can agree in principle (though it puzzles me why, when episodes of a TV show are notable) - but the problem is that if people decide to delete the content now, there's a heck of a lot of work that just goes AWOL, and the season reviews of the 2005 English cricket season will basically go to
76:
In summary, I do not believe that reports of routine, non-championship sporting events are suitable for Knowledge (XXG) articles. There are tens of thousands of organized sporting events played every year, all over the world, and only a very few of them are notable in an encyclopedic sense. These
1605:
After thinking about this for a while, and considering the opinions already presented, I don't have a strong opinion for inclusion or deletion of these specific articles, though if the pages are meant to be temporary, perhaps they should be marked as such with a template of some sort. My biggest
1044:
That's an interesting problem, I wasn't aware of that. I tried to track down the archived discussion but the Village Pump is an absolute hell-hole for that kind of thing. Hrm. I still think it would be the easiest way to go, but now I have something new to think about. That's the wonderful thing
594:
As to the cricket matches itself I've came across them some time ago. They are well written indeed and were hard work. Their authors should be given a fair amount of time to copy them somewhere else, wikicities maybe, before being deleted. A normal encyclopedia would have one article on cricket,
982:
I agree that the end of season review article is the proper place for these sorts of things. However I do have a few questions. If the articles are supposed to be temporary until the main end of season article is created, why can you not create the article at the beginning of the season and add
536:
Agreed, the merged article would not be encyclopedic, except by summarizing: removing a lot of information, and bringing in appropriate summaries from outside sources to indicate the notable opinions about the season as a whole. In other words, the article for the whole season would have to be
1663:
What does everyone think about this? To me, it seems a good compromise that addresses almost all of the concerns raised above, but obviously I may have missed something. If people from both "sides" think this is a good idea, it might be something worth strongly recommending for future seasons.

most people would recognise the encyclopedic status of a seasonal review), but would instead be the subject of edit wars. Solution? Create a non-arbitrary notability standard - such as "a major professional sports event whose result was concurrently important to x number of people" which would

For a start, the assertion that the matches are "non-notable" is a stretch - it's the premier competition of English cricket. A non-notable match would be a local league match between two city sides, say. These matches are well visited, some of them are even screened on TV, and unlike American

205:
Personally, I'm not convinced individual television episodes are notable either, although I don't feel strongly about it (I'm still pondering that). That said, there is a difference in terms of sheer numbers: 162 Γ— 30 = 4,860 regular season Major League Baseball games per season, for instance,
1846:
I'm going to agree with Jeff above that this issue needs more eyes and shouldn't yet be closed. I knew of the cricket controversy (having stumbled into it briefly a month or two ago) and am a fairly active editor, but didn't find this discussion until today. In addition, I've just added a new
1311:
I agree that given the lack of consensus we should keep these particular articles (although I think there is a consensus for not doing it in the same way again). But since you ask, I don't consider "what harm do they do?" to be a very good argument in general. On that basis, nothing would be
57:
I also think this is helpful - I would possibly agree with the main thing we are discussing, that individual games are below the notability limit, but I don't want to see that used as a means of deleting heaps of potentially useful and relevant content which could easily be merged into more
983:
matches to it as the season progresses? Then you wouldn't have to merge all these pages at the end of the season, or have to bother about having them put up for deletion. This sounds like the obvious solution to me, is there anything wrong with this suggestion that I haven't considered?
1836:
Perhaps if a larger group of the Wiki community were aware of this conversation we could find a less biased consenses. A vote of 9 to 6 (I vote remove) doesn't seem like it's had enough opinions to be valid. Will it be possible to draw more attention to the issue before you close it?
1658:
There is the problem of pulling in information to Knowledge (XXG) from the book in an inconsistent manner; i.e., copying WP article text from different versions of the book, the fact that later edits to match summaries in Knowledge (XXG) may not propagate back to the book, and vice
2061:
I was not involved in the original discussion pertaining to 2005 Criket matches. However, at the college football project we have discussed this and we are proceeding to create articles on individual seasons and even games so long as the are well written and comply with policy.
2001:
I disagree, I see no reason these articles are more of a temptation than any other type on Knowledge (XXG). As always, sources need to be cited and plagarism is not to be tolerated. There is no reason to harm our coverage of this field of endeavor based upon fears of possible

articles. The main question is phrased in such a way that I think most people would agree to delete such articles. But the cricket authors are trying to do something rather different from what the main discussion implies, and I don't think people have realised that. As I argued
1651:
There are a lot more people who browse Knowledge (XXG) than WikiBooks, so maybe the cricket-almanac project will find fewer editors than they would otherwise. (This concern is hopefully alleviated by my suggestion to place a link to the project at the top of every 2006 cricket

re-sourced and effectively rewritten, anyway, what function do the individual game articles serve in this process? Why not just subst all these little game pages into one big temporary page (like an author's user page) right now, and delete all the individual game articles? --
297:
No, my argument was "The information exists and is easy to get elsewhere, therefore 'I want the information over here!' is not a reason to have it on WP". You don't need to tell me sports are notable. I like sports. I write about sports, and have an article on CFL quarterback
348:
Finals, or championship matches in other sports should be included as articles (though note that championships that are multiple games between the two teams, such as the Stanley Cup and the World Series, are given one article per series rather than one article per game; see

These articles are useful as a record of results, incidents etc, which can be compiled into a larger "season review" or other "bigger picture" article. Notable enough to be included, and it's not like its BJAODN or spam or misinformation, as such is better in than out :D
401:
To me this feels like rewriting policy, not just reinterpreting it. It's the choice of "almanac" that worries me the most, because this is not much different from creating any type of internal database. It's very obviously intended solely cricket fans and not because it's
555:. Otherwise you are wrecking a decent, if slightly disentangled, encyclopedia article for no apparent reason. As mentioned below, the match summaries may potentially have uses in biographical or journalistic research, and it's a part of the team's history. And as for the 273:

It is - but the problem is that then we can't correct typos, language, and so on efficiently - it has to be done on the individual pages, and that's four different edits. Not a big deal, but slightly annoying, but maybe probably preferable to these incessant rows.

1559:(Just a side note) Your point about usefulness for research is good, but whether or not something is interesting to read depends on the reader. Almost every reader here finds articles on both topics that they find interesting and topics that they find dull. -- 1488:
How is it clutter? You have to go looking for these pages. They aren't linked from anywhere. Clutter is a page linked by hundreds of others, which is rubbish. "The content of articles being worked upon belongs in User space." Knowledge (XXG) is a wiki.

in any significant way - while Knowledge (XXG) is not an indiscriminate collection of information, the history of a team sport is clearly a worthy encyclopedic topic, and the only debatable point is how deep to dive, so to speak. This leads in to my last

The "answer" to your argument about merging of articles has been made several times above, by myself and others, but I'll restate it here. It is twofold:

1885: 728: 1655:
Fewer eyes for the almanac project may also be a discouragement to the existing cricket editors. (We all want our contributions to be read!)

On the contrary. It is not true that "rules are rules are rules". I did actually see a discussion just a couple of days ago about whether
