Kekhashru Mistry (1911)

• ... that cricketer Kekhashru Mistry (pictured), an all-rounder in the first all-Indian cricket team that toured England in 1911, had to return after three games because he was also the aide-de-camp to the Maharaja of Patiala?

• Y Article is long enough (3375 characters), new enough (moved to mainspace 20 November, nominated same day), and article is within policy
• Y Hook is short enough, interesting, in the article and well cited. I added link to aide-de-camp in hook, as not everyone will know what this is
• Y Image is freely licenced (out of copyright in US and country of origin- I added PD UK tag to image), in the article and looks good at low resolution
• N QPQ not yet done. Ktin please provide a QPQ for this nomination
• Overall, article is fine but QPQ is required. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:48, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

@Joseph2302: Thanks for the review. QPQ is now completed and has been updated. Please have a look. Ktin (talk) 15:42, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

Y QPQ done

Thanks Joseph2302, much appreciated. To the promoting admin / prep-builder, please promote this one with the image included. Happy to wait until a prep opens-up with an image slot available. Ktin (talk) 16:21, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

I'll review this. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 16:19, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

Image is suitably tagged.

• What makes thecricketcauldron.com reliable? It appears to be a blog.

That's the only issue. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 16:32, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

• Mike Christie, I can't tell if cric HQ, whatever it is, verifies that sentence. This is their "About" page, and it inspires no confidence; plus, since it's such a data-oriented site (and I'm phrasing that diplomatically), the reference is very unattractive. Is it necessary? Drmies (talk) 16:37, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

  I asked about CricHQ in another GA review; I hadn't realized we had an article on them, CricHQ. Taking that article at face value they seem to be a corporate entity with an editorial staff, which I figured was good enough. I hadn't clicked through to spotcheck, and you're right, it doesn't seem to support it. Ktin, can you comment? I'll see if I can figure out how to search their stats a little better and find a better URL. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 16:44, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

  It does support it -- you have to click on the "2nd innings" tab. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 16:47, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

  Thanks Mike Christie. That is correct. To make it easy, I have updated the ref link to a deep link to second innings. I will also try digging more on this Cricket Cauldron thingie. Ktin (talk) 17:07, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

  Following up on this thread, @Mike Christie, the author Rustom Deboo, imo should be considered as SME on the topic. He is a writer / journalist who writes on cricket related articles for ESPNCricinfo, Emerging Cricket among other publications. Ktin (talk) 22:45, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

  I do see that he's written on cricket elsewhere. I only see two stories from him when I search ESPNcricinfo, though; and since he's freelance I don't think that adds up to much. If you can show he's a regular contributor at a cricket or sports reliable source, I agree that would be fine. Alternatively you could contact him and ask what his sources were for the article -- he might point at something that we can access.

  Let me see what I can do. I do have the Kidambi ebook and that might give us most of the answers and then we might have to look at actual scorecards of the period. Ktin (talk) 00:32, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

  @Mike Christie Done and done. All references have been substituted. Ktin (talk) 01:20, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

  Great! Glad you could find the refs. Passing. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 01:31, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
