Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of lesser-known Sri Lankan cricketers
to List of Sri Lankan cricketers with unidentified given names. This page name is unambiguous and would be a useful place to store information on those players who will struggle, due to a lack of biographical information, to be verifiable as reasonable targets of a page - i.e. where we have only very limited database entries about them. The page name suggested is stolen totally from List of Major League Baseball players with unidentified given names - a featured list - and was suggested to the editor who created this page. It is an objective naming strategy rather than one where the name of the article requires a judgement to be made. As can be seen from discussions such as rticles for deletion/J. Desai there are editors who would argue that articles where we have very limited biographical information should always be kept as a matter of process and others who would argue that they should be deleted based on the lack of information. A page such as this - with an objective name - is a compromise that might just go some way to allow information to be kept on Wikipedia and articles developed should sources eventually become available
