List of Cricket All-Stars cricketers

This is not a first class or List A level series and even for those we don't document statistics in this manner. This is clearl WP:NOT what an encyclopaedia should be. The All-stars series is to promote cricket in the US and has drawn in players who have all retired from the game, it's meant to be fun, that's it. This is a continuation of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cricket All-Stars Series 2015‎ which includes the two team articles, so this one has apparently been created to circumvent that discussion. —SpacemanSpiff 04:58, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete Just a collection of statistics for an exhibition series. Aspirex (talk) 06:34, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I don't quite understand the statistical argument. Aren't these matches on the same level as the Indian Premier League? St Anselm (talk) 06:42, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hardly! This is a group of retired players playing a few exhibition matches in the USA for a pay-check. Harrias ^talk 06:53, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I meant of course statistically. St Anselm (talk) 08:05, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have something which says it in prose; but CricketArchive lists the the game format as "miscellaneous" [1] rather than Twenty20 (example here), and the series is absent from this list of all ESPNCricinfo-recognised Twenty20 series [2] – so I'm confident that statistically it is not recognised on the same level as the IPL.

Delete Non-notable collection of statistics for a meaningless set of exhibition matches. Harrias ^talk 06:53, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
