Nominator(s): Lugnuts, Zia Khan 15:18, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is a list of Pakistani players who have taken five-for on their Test debuts. The list was initially created by User:Lugnuts, I was involved in the expansion process. I believe this is now according to the FL criteria. Comments/suggestions will be appreciated, as always. Regards, —Zia Khan 15:18, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Support I've made a couple of minor additions. I think it's the same standard as other FLs for related cricket articles. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 16:39, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – With the size of List of Test cricketers who have taken five wickets on debut being too small, isn't this a 3(b) issue? —Vensatry _(ping) 07:27, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Vensatry, I've expanded the parent article! Hope your concern is now addressed. Please have a look now. Regards, —Zia Khan 21:25, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: There's a fine line here, one which needs to be drawn and a consensus formed. Arbitrarily, I would say that eight players who have taken five wickets on debut for a country justifies an article. @Vensatry:, what are your thoughts on that limit? I'll make a post at Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket to help find that line. Seattle (talk) 03:02, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments:

• I don't personally have a problem with a list of 10 players.

• One dead link

• Removed that one! —Zia Khan 17:15, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Table should sort by last name, not first.

• Done! —Zia Khan 17:15, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• "The Oval" sorts out of place; omit the "the" from the sort template.

• It should include "The" as the article is named as (The Oval).

• File:Shahid Afridi 2010-cropped.jpg needs a personality rights template.

• Done. —Zia Khan 17:15, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• This is regarded as a notable achievement. Why, exactly? I don't like the use of the word "notable" here, but if you choose to keep it, you need more references to support that claim.

• Replaced notable with significant. —Zia Khan 17:15, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• first Pakistani player to take a five-wicket haul on his Test debut; he took use a colon here.

• Done. —Zia Khan 17:15, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• He accumulated 11 wickets for 130 runs at his first appearance, against New Zealand in 1996, at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium perhaps a clarification that the 11 wickets for 130 runs is over the course of the match.

• Fixed. —Zia Khan 17:15, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Most recently, the feat was achieved by Tanvir Ahmed, against South Africa in 2010 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi; he colon again

• Fixed. —Zia Khan 17:15, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Amongst the bowlers, Shahid Afridi is more economical, with 2.21 runs per over, and Zahid has the best strike rate. "the most" would make the most sense here as he has the lowest number. Do you have a reference for "strike rate"? That's the only time the term is mentioned.

• Done. This should be the best, I think (see this). —Zia Khan 17:15, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's my review. Seattle (talk) 13:45, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comments! —Zia Khan 17:15, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Cowlibob (talk) 06:55, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments I personally would have tried to get the parent list to FLC first but have no problem with ten players in a list. Two bowlers.... sentence --> Mohammad Nazir and Mohammad Zahid are the only bowlers to have taken seven wickets each. Arif Butt and Tanvir Ahmed have taken six wickets each and six others have taken five wickets on debut. Done. —Zia Khan 00:34, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply] Zahid sentence --> Zahid took seven wickets for 66 runs, the best bowling figures by a Pakistan bowler on debut, against New Zealand in 1996, at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Done. —Zia Khan 00:34, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply] I don't think it's worth it to note that he took 11 wickets in the match but feel free to disagree. Since he is the only Pakistani who took a ten-wicket haul on debut, so I think this should be mentioned!?. —Zia Khan 00:34, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply] More recently --> As of 2014, the most recent bowler to achieve the feat was... Done. —Zia Khan 00:34, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply] Cowlibob (talk) 16:56, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply] Thanks for comments! —Zia Khan 00:34, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
