Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

When asked about pressure leading up to a cricket test match he was known to have replied
"Pressure is a Messerschmitt up your ass"
I would add it in, but i do not have a source for it. Great Quotation none the less.

@ YellowMonkey: as the Early life of Keith Miller FAC nominator: I propose merging Early life of Keith Miller into Keith Miller. I do not think there are enough sources independently discussing the early life of this person to justify its own article, and thus I think the early life article should merge into this one.

In the honourable tradition of early-Wikipedia articles on mid-century Australian cricketers, this 2009 listing is detailed to the point of insanity, with exhaustive statistics on pretty much every international match Miller ever played.
This leads to a total word count of 14000+ (not counting quotes, image captions, or tables) and a pretty certain failing of GA criterion 3b ("it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail").
Relevant non-GA guidelines include WP:TOOBIG. Shouldn't be that hard for a cricket expert to trim down to a better length. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 16:19, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
Delist: The length of the article has not been addressed yet. Z1720 ( talk) 15:59, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

I propose merging Keith Miller with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948 into Keith Miller. Its a lot of cruft mostly, with repeated content. Similar articles of the same person have been redirected here. Pinging @ Trainsandotherthings @ Joseph2302 @ JoelleJay as I have seen them commenting on related discussions of this guy.
