Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sam Loxton with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948
To further clarify my opinion, I would liken these articles to having something like Ron Weasley in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, with a paragraph or two for each chapter in the book describing what Ron did in that chapter.  Harry Potter is one of the most successful series of novels in history, and Ron is one of the main characters of the series.  His actions in the book (along with those of several other major characters) are an essential aspect of the plot.  Lots of people have written about Harry Potter books, and I am sure there would be plenty of reliable sources discussing Ron's actions in the book.  However, the reasons why the book is important and how his actions were an essential part of the plot can easily be discussed within the articles Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and Ron Weasley.  Only someone who is already a huge fan of Harry Potter would care what Ron was doing in each and every chapter.  To someone wanting to learn about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the significance of the book (that it sold at a record pace, etc.), and the significance of Ron Weasley to that book (that he destroyed a horcrux), are both evident without needing an article giving the details of everthing he did in the book.  Similarly, the importance of the Australian cricket team in England in 1948 is evident from that article, and the fact that Sam Loxton is an important cricketer, as well as his contributions to the Australian cricket team in England in 1948 are evident from the Sam Loxton article.  No one who isn't a huge cricket fan would care about all the details like what the score was at various points in the matches and what exactly Sam Loxton did on this day or that day.  Having that content does nothing to further someone's understanding of why the Australian cricket team in England in 1948 or Sam Loxton are important.  The only real difference between this and something like Ron Weasley in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is that people would delete the Harry Potter article based on guidlines like #PLOT, while the similar overly-detailed cricket article would be kept because it is not about fiction
