Talk:List of English cricketers (1851–1860)

Merge suggestion

I'd like to propose we merge the 1856-60 article into this one - creating an article for the 1850s. Numbers of players are increasing and timespans of careers are doing the same, so a simple list with fairly narrow columns is probably the best approach in the circumstances. I've modelled this for the As in this list - try with different browser widths.

This isn't a quick job due to the state the articles were left in, but it's doable over time. Suggestions welcome. Blue Square Thing (talk) 07:53, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

I've now completed a first run through this list. Anyone who has time to check I've not missed someone would be welcomed with open arms. I'm inclined to think that, with the amount of chaps who appear on both lists, that it'll be worth a go merging with 1856-60 still - unless anyone objects or feels this would be a stupid thing to do?

Merging is in process but is likely to take a few days - weather's looking poor for the weekend so that should help. A bunch of links will need updating after I'm done. Blue Square Thing (talk) 20:37, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

So, all done. I think. Anyone who'd like to check links would be very welcome. Blue Square Thing (talk) 10:39, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
