Cricket was only played in the 1900 Summer Olympics, which has its own article. Ignoring the fact that some of the content in this new article is copied unchanged from Rugby sevens at the Summer Olympics, I fail to see how this article can be justified given the existence of Cricket at the 1900 Summer Olympics. -- Pingumeister^(talk) 19:47, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I do not see how the potential re-introduction of cricket at the Olympics fits into an article about the 1900 event. They are clearly separable and different topics. If anything, you should be suggesting the merging of the 1900 article into an article about cricket at the Olympics. mgSH 20:29, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The topics are clearly different. I am also sympathetic to a reverse merge but that would require a discussion by people knowledgeable in the subject matter and is beyond the scope of AFD. Please close this AFD and start a discussion on the talk pages. Thincat (talk) 08:30, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep the articles clearly cover two different topics and both are justified. – Ianblair23 (talk) 11:49, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
