The consensus about such lists is that they should not exist unless there is coverage in reliable sources where they are discussed as a group. As no coverage was found, so this list fails

• Keep. On the basis he is still playing for South Africa and I'd imagine will score a few more centuries, reaching 25 which should be the cut-off for lists. StickyWicket (talk) 15:59, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• There is no "cut-off" as per policy. Either the article is notable, or it is not. Ajf773 (talk) 08:23, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge into main article. Nigej (talk) 16:04, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect and not merge to player article per
  WP:NOTSTATS as per three most recent discussions: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of international cricket centuries by Michael Atherton, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of international cricket centuries by Tom Latham, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of international cricket centuries by Dinesh Chandimal.

• Merge No need for separate article,
  WP:NOTSTATS does not count as centuries are a small and rather exclusive part of a cricketers career. If it was his whole international career details I would have said delete, but it's not so its def a merge.Davidstewartharvey (talk) 09:08, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply

• Merge. No issues with inclusion in the main subject article, per
  WP:SPLIT. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 13:06, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply

• Comment - note to closing admin - there was a
  WP:CRIC was to remove these statistics from bios per WP:NOTSTATS. Störm (talk) 06:58, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply

  Not true: "There's no consensus here that they should universally be included. Nor is there a clear consensus that such sections should be removed from all cricketer articles." wjemather^{please leave a message...} 10:21, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete with the possibility of some prose being added to the player's article. These sorts of tables need to be supported by prose and considered on an individual basis if they're going to be included on the individual's article. I would rather see a summary added than a table such as this - if this were added it needs to be massively cut down to ensure that it doesn't take over the page. Blue Square Thing (talk) 16:47, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Detailing significant numbers in prose alone is cumbersome and impairs readability, so tables are the way to go, especially in a statistics driven sport. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 10:15, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
