Worst case situation here is an obvious redirect to List of Oxford University Cricket Club players#D where a note will need to be added summarising his life. This is a clear WP:ATD which has had consensus over a very long period of time as a way of dealing with articles such as this and is part of policy rather than guidelines. There's likely some sourcing around Docwra, and it wouldn't surprise me if at some point we could write a more source based summary of his life, but it's tricky to source enough just now Blue Square Thing (talk) 09:03, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Why bother AfD'ing? Just redirect to List of Oxford University Cricket Club players#D. AA (talk) 09:44, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Oxford University Cricket Club players#D. Personally, I think a speedy redirect of this (rather than via AFD) is fine, if anyone wanted to oppose the redirect, then they could have done and then we could have had AFD afterwards.
