Cricket items in Marathi

Hi Tiven! I see you are a temporary mrwiki administrator, so you may be able to help me with determining whether each of the pages in this list refers to the sport played in the specific country, such as with cricket in India (Q5185016), or whether each page refers to the country's men's national cricket team, such as with India national cricket team (Q1143793). The title of each page being "{country name} cricket" does not seem particularly helpful. Whatever you decide about what those pages refer to, would you be able to merge the corresponding items on Wikidata (e.g. if you decide that cricket in Indonesia (Q13115851) refers to cricket in Indonesia (Q25220846), could you merge the two items)?

Are you unable to read the Pastebin? @अभय नातू: what’s going on? Mahir256 (talk) 14:05, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Yeah I can read it and we are working on it. It may take time as we are busy clearing backlog on MrWp. --Tiven2240 (talk) 14:27, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello @Mahir256:,

The title of each page being "{country name} cricket" does not seem particularly helpful.

In many cases, an article with {countryname} cricket refers to the organization that runs cricket in that country, such as Indonesia Cricket or Cricket Australia. We would like to differentiate that from Australian Women's Cricket Team or Indonesian Men's Cricket team. They (will) have different information with different focus.

Many/most of these articles do need to be expanded, as Tiven mentioned, including adding interwiki links.

Regards,

@अभय नातू, Tiven2240: Thank you for your responses. It does seem strange that each of those articles has categories "National cricket teams" and "Cricket associations" if I read those correctly, which are not necessarily the same thing. Mahir256 (talk) 19:45, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

A pair of items I came across worth merging: w:mr:नामदेव चं. कांबळे ↔ w:mr:नामदेव कांबळे Mahir256 (talk) 20:40, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

@Mahir256:  Done --Tiven2240 (talk) 01:27, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
