This tournament does not have enough coverage to warrant a specific season article, as the season article does not pass WP:GNG. Clear case of WP:NOTINHERITED- just because some notable international and former international players are competing, that doesn't make the season itself notable.

- Neither of which are demonstrations that this season article passes WP:GNG. Just because it exists, doesn't mean it's notable enough for an article. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:58, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. The only "name" players involved are former internationals who no longer play in top-class cricket. This tournament is really nothing more than an exhibition event. Admittedly, the organisers are trying to generate US interest in cricket but that does not mean a season of second- or even third-rate competition deserves an article which is well below the WP:GNG standard.

- Delete. Non-notable tournament. No matter which mercenaries... players take part, it doesn't make notability inheritable. The tournament also carries no status, so in an ideal world it shouldn't even feature on this site. StickyWicket aka AA (talk) 17:22, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Delete as per the arguments given above. --WellThisIsTheReaper Grim 06:00, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

- Delete Fails WP:GNG. Not sure the suggested redirect is a suitable WP:ATD as there is no season information in the parent article. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 20:23, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
