Talk:West Indian cricket team in England in 2017

Ireland ODI

Aren't the West Indies scheduled to face Ireland in an ODI match at Stormont on the 13th of September? Linkiscool99 (talk) 19:54, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

I would imagine that would be covered by West Indian cricket team in Ireland in 2017. – PeeJay 19:56, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

Ah, yes. Thank you for the clear up. Not sure what the point is of having an entire article for one match but oh well. Linkiscool99 (talk) 20:31, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

Couldn't we have just put it into this article? Linkiscool99 (talk) 20:37, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

Possibly, but there are a handful of one-off tours/matches with their own articles, and it is listed as a standalone tour on Cricinfo, etc. Plus there will be coverage from the Irish press, Cricket Ireland, the BBC, etc, for potential expansion.

Yeah, I mean it is technically its own tour, but I can't remember the last time any team went to Ireland without also touring England (and/or Wales). – PeeJay 07:40, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Is there any reason why the near identical tour by Pakistan last year is a single article, but this tour split into two? Are we just going on the cricinfo designation (and if so how to they decide to split it)?Spike 'em (talk) 09:42, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

This and the Eng/WI fixtures are listed as individual tours on the ICC site too Eng-WI, Ire-WI if that helps. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 10:01, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
