Merger proposal[edit]

I propose to merge English cricket team in Sri Lanka in 2019–20 into English cricket team in Sri Lanka in 2020–21. Short, closely-related articles. Widely considered to be the rescheduling of the same tour. SocietyBox (talk) 22:24, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done! Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 09:19, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proposing a revert. The original squads and tour games from March 2020 still constituted a tour to my mind. Spa-Franks (talk) 21:07, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Strongest possible support It's the same tour, just postponed. See comments at WT:CRIC, squads for a non-existent series aren't useful to anyone, and is covered sufficiently here. Joseph2302 (talk) 21:14, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are glossing over and ignoring the tour matches, which you effectively want wiped from Wikipedia. Are they not notable? I believe they are. Spa-Franks (talk) 22:53, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

They're not international matches, so no. Tour matches aren't interesting to a general reader- they are preparation for the international matches, which didn't happen. Joseph2302 (talk) 23:42, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Only two practice matches happened, neither with first-class status, and the second one was called off early. All of that is covered in this article, there's no need to have the other one. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 10:21, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
