Another example of a local Indian cricket tournament that doesn't need separate season articles. The fact that the teams are mostly non notable players (with 1-2 exceptions per team) makes it no surprise to me that this season article doesn't pass WP:GNG independently of general coverage about tournament creation which is relevant mainly to the parent article Delhi Premier League T20. We need to stop creating season articles for every local one city or state T20 tournaments with non notable players. Joseph2302 (talk) 07:28, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Please check the Tamil Nadu Premier League pages, including those dedicated to individual annual editions like the 2022 Tamil Nadu Premier League, 2023 Tamil Nadu Premier League, and 2024 Tamil Nadu Premier League. Separate pages exist for each team as well. Similarly, the Delhi Premier League T20, which is also organized under the directions of Board of Control for Cricket in India BCCI, has gained significant coverage after the successful completion of its seasons. Given this, it would be beneficial for Wikipedia readers to have dedicated pages for each annual edition of the Delhi Premier League T20, as well as individual pages for each team, similar to those for Tamil Nadu Premier League teams like Salem Spartans, Chepauk Super Gillies, and Lyca Kovai Kings.

Note Several Twenty20 pages have existed includimg thier annual leagues for many years, and in my opinion, it is not appropriate to nominate them for deletion.

WP:OSE is not a valid reason to keep. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:03, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unnoteworthy local city league. The league is not notable (even majority of the players) or noteworthy enough nationally or internationally to warrant a page on. Fails WP:GNG. RangersRus (talk) 13:35, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I would highlight that the population of Delhi, over 28 million people, is more than many countries so to refer to this as a 'Local League' per some contributors above is slightly disingenuous. As the biggest sport in a sizable catchment area with considerable media interest it is clear that this competition, as well as the other state level T20 leagues in India, fulfils Wikipedia's Notability criteria. Bobby2302 (talk) 15:43, 22 August 2024 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.13.50.178 (talk) — 185.13.50.178 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. Note to Admin: IP 185.13.50.178 signed itself as BobbyB. Maybe same users? BobbyB has only one edit to its account and that was in 2006.[reply]

This IP edit claiming to be another user also looks like an attempt to imitate me (using 2302 and the exact colours of my signature). As well as making no actual claim on why separate season articles should exist (as they seem to be talking about the main tournament articles). Joseph2302 (talk) 17:00, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry. I was trying to work out how do do a signiture. My comment still stands that the artical should be kept per policy. 185.13.50.219 (talk) 09:03, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Which policy should it be kept under? Because there is no evidence this passes WP:GNG, which is the main way of determining keeping or deleting of articles. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:57, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Per nom. Another of these local leagues that seem to have been mass-created of late, lacking any notability or substance. Fails WP:GNG and WP:EVENT. Also, suspect IP commenting seems quackers. AA (talk) 18:07, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Comment, Guidelines / Standards for Establishing Wikipedia Notability for State Cricket Leagues:

In my opinion, establishing clear guidelines for creating Wikipedia articles related to state cricket leagues is essential to ensure they meet the notability criteria and have a lasting presence on the platform. To pass the Wikipedia General Notability Guidelines WP:GNG and retain annual league and team articles, I propose the following criteria:

Completion of Multiple Seasons: State leagues, such as the Tamil Nadu Premier League, should successfully complete at least one to three annual league series. This demonstrates consistency, relevance, and the league’s potential for long-term significance in the cricketing landscape.

Involvement of National Players: The state league should feature at least 10 players who have competed in prestigious events such as the Indian Premier League (IPL), national cricket tournaments, or international matches. The presence of such players not only elevates the league's standard but also increases its notability and media coverage.

Minimum Team Requirement and Broadcast Standards: To align with national and international guidelines, the state cricket league should consist of a minimum of six teams. Additionally, the league should be broadcast live on major sports channels like Star Sports, ESPN, or equivalent platforms. This ensures widespread visibility and demonstrates the league’s significance beyond the local level.

By adhering to these guidelines, we can ensure that Wikipedia articles about state cricket leagues are both notable and valuable resources for readers, reflecting the importance of these leagues in the broader context of cricket. Davidrun99 (talk) 23:47, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just writing the rules/entry criteria for a tournament doesn't mean that it passes WP:GNG, which is the main criteria for whether an article is kept or not (not any of the rules you're making up on this and similar AFDs). Where is the evidence of significant coverage in reliable sources specifically about this season? Joseph2302 (talk) 07:54, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

These are the evidences of significant coverage in reliable sources specifically about this season:

Vikas265 (talk) 12:25, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[1] is WP:ROUTINE coverage about event schedule. [2] is behind a paywall so I cannot analyse, but looks from the first paragraph to be general information not WP:SIGCOV. [3] and [4] are regurgitated press releases from sponsors. [5] is not a reliable source (as per Wikipedia:REPUBLICTV). I'm not saying the parent article should be deleted, just that season articles are not needed. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:06, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some more coverage in reliable sources specifically about this season:

1.Delhi Premier League T20, Match 16 Review: Keshav Dabas' fifty powers Central Delhi Kings to five-wicket win over East Delhi Riders.

2. Delhi Premier League T20 2024, Match 15 Review: Arya's historic ton leads South Delhi Supertstarz to dominant win over Purani Dilli 6. Vikas265 (talk) 04:30, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Again, the above are WP:ROUTINE, the sort of coverage matches in my local cricket league in the South of England gets. AA (talk) 11:09, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
