(contested PROD) I don't believe the chairman of a local cricket club fulfills the guidelines at WP:BIO. The article mentions that Mr. Light is related to some well-known people, but that does not make him notable. Joyous! | Talk 22:43, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment Note that Gloucestershire County Cricket Club play in the fully professional County Championship. the major cricket competition in the UK. I'm not sure if that makes him notable but it does mean that he is more likely to be notable that the chairman of a merely local cricket club. -- Mattinbgn/ talk 04:58, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep I think. Alternatively Merge with Gloucestershire County Cricket Club. County Cricket Clubs are (I believe) still membership clubs, unlike in some sports where they are owned by a small group of shareholders. I supect this means that the chairmanship changes frequently, in which case the chairman would be NN and the article should be merged. The hisotry section in the GCCC article is weak and should be marked as a section stub. Peterkingiron 23:27, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete there is nothing claimed that equals automatic notability so we need independent reliable sources to establish Mr Light's notability. As of this moment this is lacking from the article and there are no obvious sources. Nuttah68 13:42, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
