John Bickley (cricketer) → John Bickley – Currently the only person of this name with an article, the 2 red links look pretty obscure. --Relisted. Dekimasuよ! 23:36, 26 October 2014 (UTC) PatGallacher (talk) 17:51, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment this article does not appear to be notable either. Perhaps just delete the cricketer as well. John Bickley (politician) was already deleted. -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 20:54, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

All first-class cricketers are notable. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 08:04, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The reference is a general database of cricket, so the article does not meet notability by way of the supporting references. WP:GNG Moreover, not all coverage in reliable sources constitutes evidence of notability for the purposes of article creation; for example, directories and databases, ... are all examples of coverage that may not actually support notability when examined, despite their existence as reliable sources. -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 19:48, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Take it to WP:AFD and see how far you get. Good luck! Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 06:46, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This person does appear to be notable, see WP:CRIN, but let's deal with one issue at a time. PatGallacher (talk) 21:07, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose leave as is. WP Cricket has notability guidelines which make the article notable. But Google Books shows it is a common name.. not that the parliamentarians stand out either... but. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:45, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose You just need some bugger to create stubs for the two missing MPs and the problem is solved. Oh. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 19:22, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
