List of Test cricket grounds by date

No consensus. Still a featured list.

Too many redlinks. In addition, the scope of the list is not clear to non-cricket people and there is a systematic bias in the redlinks; 13 of them are in Pakistan. The does not explictly state its as of date. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 23:36, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Last point addressed. The scope of the list is not clear to non-cricket people - not entirely sure how this can be made clearer - the list includes grounds where Test cricket has been played, and Test cricket is linked in the list so people who don't know what a Test match is can go there and check. As for the redlinks, will try to fix. Sam Vimes 07:45, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Redlinks - I count 20 redlinks out of 92 in the list; this is higher than I would like, but I would say that almost 4 in 5 links in the first column of the list (much more if you count the entirely blue links in the other three columns) is fine.

Bias: the list is based on an entirely objective and neutral criterion. I don't see how any perceived "systematic bias" in the redlinks means that it does not meet the criteria in WP:WIAFL.

Scope - the article says in its first sentence: "the grounds (stadiums) that have hosted Test cricket matches in chronological order of the first day of Test cricket played at each ground" - are you saying that we need to explain what Test cricket is, despite it being prominently linked? -- ALoan (Talk) 09:58, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For the avoidance of doubt, keep -- ALoan (Talk) 21:34, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
