Non-notable cricket team. While the East African Premier League is notable, I would say that by extension its teams are not. Also seems to clash somewhat with the Kenya Kongonis Cricket Club article. AssociateAffiliate (talk) 17:11, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The existence of the Kenya Kongonis Cricket Club article suggests that a merge should be possible, and I think that would be the right thing to do. In WP:CRIN terms, neither article would probably meet the notability criteria, but I'd be very open to persuasion that this is notable in the context of "sport in Kenya" or even "cricket in Kenya", and I think in any case we should be encouraging rather than discouraging to articles of this kind.

Comment - I'd go along with that reasonable suggestion, particularly in the context of "sport in Kenya". I'm more open these days to articles on teams with some historical merit to them, like the Kenya Kongonis Cricket Club. Come to think of it, not entirely sure why I wasn't bold and just went ahead and merged it! AssociateAffiliate (talk) 20:01, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Yep, a merge and redirect looks like a good idea to me, too. Jenks24 (talk) 04:03, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Are we really having this debate again? Anyway my feeling is that whatever the outcome, there needs to be a distinction between Kongonis, the franchise that exists as part of the East Africa Cup and Premier League on one hand, and Kenya Kongonis, the cricket club that is one of the founding teams of Cricket Kenya and runs teams in the Nairobi Provincial Leagues. To that effect I propose that if merging is the way forward, then it is better to merge this article with the East Africa Cup and East Africa Premier League articles than with the Kenya Kongonis article.

Comment. I'm happy to defer to your knowledge on this, but I think if merging to the Cup and League articles is done then there should still be a reference link at the cricket club article, simply on the basis that any reader looking for information on this franchise might well go there.

Comment . Sounds reasonable enough. Merge the Kongonis page with the two East Africa Cup and Premier League matches then add reference to the Kenya Kongonis Cricket Club page. Kimemia Maina (talk) 09:26, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge I fully agree, a merger to Kenya Kongonis Cricket Club appears to be the best option. Alpha_Quadrant ^(talk) 22:48, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to East Africa Cup (cricket) and East Africa Premier League not Kenya Kongonis Cricket Club and include explicit link to the club article. Kimemia Maina (talk) 07:52, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
