The source in the article is literally the only one I can find on him. Fails WP:GNG and, if I understand the guideline correctly, WP:NCRIC as well. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 14:58, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. @Sammyrice: anything you might be able to dig up on this player? StickyWicket (talk) 21:21, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, I can't find anything useful on him. Sammyrice (talk) 05:32, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Can the nom confirm if they've searched out Trove themselves or not? Australians (and New Zealanders) of this era tend to throw up sources there which are often good enough to keep articles. It would help to know if it's already been searched before someone puts the work in. Blue Square Thing (talk) 22:14, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Blue Square Thing: I have not searched Trove, nor do I know what that is. If you can point me to it, I would be happy to search (assuming this is something I have access to). —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 23:05, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Compassionate727: Trove is an Australian newspaper archive which is often really helpful in turning up articles about people like this. So here's a search for Lehmann cricket which throws up a lot of recent hits of course. It'll need filtering. In general using a forename is less helpful on these sorts of things - he would have been likely called by his surname or CA Lehmann in articles. There look to be some hits from the appropriate sort of time showing that he played for West Perth I think. Whether there's enough for a biography to be written I'm not sure. The New Zealand equivalent is Papers Past by the way. Blue Square Thing (talk) 11:44, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. "CA Lehmann" and "C. A. Lehmann" turn up nothing valuable, just a couple of team rosters he's listed in. A lot more hits for "C. Lehmann," but it's more of the same. Just the surname turns up countless results, but the few pages I screened were either about other people or the same trivial mentions. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 15:11, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I searched ("Charles Lehmann" cricket) on trove and nothing useful came up. Fails WP:NCRIC. LibStar (talk) 08:50, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Western Australia first-class cricketers, as a valid WP:ATD. Doesn't look to pass WP:GNG, unless sources can be demonstrated. If redirected, then if sources are found in future, the redirect could always be re-converted into an article. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:51, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be fine with redirecting, too. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 15:11, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of Western Australia first-class cricketers A valid WP:ATD. It seems likely that the subject doesn't pass GNG, however there is a suitable redirect here. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 20:54, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
