Delete per WP:NOTDIR WP:NOTSTATS WP:NOTMIRROR. This article has literally only been created in the last two days. Also we should consider the future of these articles as well Category:International cricket centuries by year. Ajf773 (talk) 10:41, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this and all in the category mentioned above as WP:NOTSTATS. There are over 6000 international centuries; I don't think every one of them needs to be listed like this. Spike 'em (talk) 11:09, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because they are are part of a series, exactly the same in scope, just for different years:

Delete per all of the above and find any similar articles and delete them as well. This is pretty much the definition of what Wikipedia should not be. Blue Square Thing (talk) 08:25, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Add - it would probably be helpful to bundle List of International cricket centuries in 1877 to List of International cricket centuries in 1886 and all of those in between, as well as the template associated with them. Blue Square Thing (talk) 08:32, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Added the articles; not sure if the Template and Category can be included here, or if they need to go to TfD and CfD if this AfD is endorsed. Spike 'em (talk) 09:46, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is a mere list just like other records. I am trying to add more references and trying to improve the article. Aditya tamhankar (talk) 30 September 2019 10:49 (IST)

It is not the referencing of the individual entries that is a problem. These lists can only be generated using something like statsguru, so this fails both NOTMIRROR and NOTSTATS. Spike 'em (talk) 06:43, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all per Ajf773. Dee 03 11:42, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all: As I understand it, these are the equivalent of a list of homeruns in major league baseball. Possibly they rise to the level of a list of grand slams (a home run hit with 3 runners on the bases). Either way, it fails WP:NLIST Verba Delenda Est Rockphed (talk) 13:29, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In terms of numbers there is just less than 1 century per international match with a total of between 140 and 190 per year this century in men's matches. In terms of frequency this will be slightly rarer than a HR and in absolute numbers comparable to the number of grand slams in an MLB season (I see that is generally between 100 and 130 per season).

Delete all: as per nom. HawkAussie (talk) 01:28, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per above arguments. Plus, it's nearly impossible to "maintain" such huge lists. —Vensatry _(talk) 07:21, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
