This is a recently-created, highly niche WikiProject with only two participants. It didn't follow the recommended process for creating a wikiproject by proposing it and gathering a group of interested editors before creation. Unfortunately we know from experience that such narrowly-focused wikiprojects are almost never successful and just end up cluttering projectspace and diluting attention from other, broader and more viable, collaborations in the subject area. Creating a task force of WikiProject Cricket might be an alternative, but again this needs more than a few interested editors to be meaningful. – Joe (talk) 15:01, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete another WikiProject that should have never been created. Catfurball (talk) 15:23, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete - Created out of process, for a subject that is a subset of the subject of an existing project, and so possibly a task force. Robert McClenon (talk) 07:26, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment - It appear that misconceived WikiProjects do not have the enthusiasts that misconceived portals do. Maybe that is because no one thinks that WikiProjects have mystical qualities. Robert McClenon (talk) 07:26, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Wikiprojects don't have that mystical appeal because they are not "nice" like portals. Portals are "kinda nice". Wikiproject pages are generally ugly.—Alalch E. 21:43, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete, while Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cricket is relatively active, it has not itself developed many task forces, suggesting a lack of viability to separate Wikprojects. CMD (talk) 10:26, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete yet another attempt to spin off a WikiProject for a random franchise cricket tournament. In my view, we should be merging all the existing cricket spinoff WikiProjects (IPL, WPL, PSL, LPL etc) into WP:CRIC task forces, not creating more. Joseph2302 (talk) 06:43, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Joseph2302: That sounds like a good idea. If you want to propose it, there's a straightforward process for merging wikiprojects. – Joe (talk) 07:28, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
