The result of the proposal was} PAGE MOVED per discussion below. Disambiguation seems to be covered by the hatnote. - GTBacchus( talk) 15:46, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
The section of this article titled "Australian Selection" is no longer valid. Yes, the section contains details of his selection for the Australian Test team but it has now moved on from that to detailing his Test career. Given that he is being spoken about as being chosen for both the Australian T20 and ODI teams I will be changing this section heading to "Australian Test career" - "Australian ODI Career" and "Australian T20 career" sections can come later if required. -- Perry Middlemiss ( talk) 02:29, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
The following article is a citation: [1].
I propose that we add the following to the lede of the article based on this citation:
"Phillip Hughes is considered to have one of the best first class batting records in cricket for a young player by Australia test and ODI captain Michael Clarke."
Either this or something similar to the effect would be good, I think. He's certainly got the best first class batting record in Australia for a player under 30 with at least 50 first class matches. So that could be added as well. ESPN cricinfo is a source.
Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.216.12.253 ( talk) 07:19, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
FA articles with assessments in the lead that I'm aware of, have been of whole careers, not the early part of a career. This is especially undue for Hughes, whose early achievements are now substantially called into question by subsequent poor performance. -- Dweller ( talk) 13:53, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
Hughes' international record is better than a young Hayden as quoted by the article I cited at this stage of his career. Moreover, the question isn't about Hughes' international record but rather about his FIRST CLASS record. He's always performed rather consistently at first class level barring a few matches.
I don't understand the criticism conceerning the ordinary form after SA. Hughes played four international innings after SA and had a lean "two test match" series. It happens to everyone. He's done very well in most test series except the Ashes and the SA tour. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.216.12.253 ( talk) 04:05, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
In English media, I only ever see him referred to as "Phil Hughes", not "Phillip Hughes". If this is the same for Oz sources, we should move the article to Phil Hughes (cricketer), per WP:COMMONNAME.
We should then sort out some of the mess around the redirect and disambiguation between Phil and Philip and Phillip Hugheses, including a discussion about whether the baseball player currently occupying Phil Hughes really fulfils WP:PRIME. -- Dweller ( talk) 08:22, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
My attempt to access the article's first inline citation (at Fox Sports News. 22 November 2007) resulted in a "forbidden" message. Imho, this doesn't rate for WP and should be removed or at least marked "restricted to subscribers" or "dead link". I have not acted on it in case another editor has a better idea, or a more valid link. Is this player's nickname "Boofa", per the citation, or "Hughesy" per the infobox? Bjenks ( talk) 05:36, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
I have semi protected this article because the speculation on Hughes' condition including some edits saying he has died all of which violate WP:BLP please endeavour to use reliable sources, with any changes in his condition please ensure its in multiple sources first or discuss its inclusion here. Any admin can remove the semi protection without contacting me should they choose to. Gnan garra 10:39, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
If there's an admin watching this page, could you go over to WP:ITN/C and see if you can post the blurb and also copy his image locally, protect it and add it to the ITN template. There's been a discussion already and I believe there is a consensus to post the item (but you should determine this independently because I participated in that discussion). Thank you.

Out of respect for Sean Abbott, it would be best if he wasn't identified as the person who bowled the bouncer. We all know it was him, and it's just completely irrelevant at this time, if not ever. I'm sure him and those close to him are going through enough at this time, this tragic incident should not be attributed to him in any way.

Could someone please add the following edit to the article:
(under the Australian international career section)
Personal life
Hughes had a passion for fashion and breeding chickens—which along with cattle breeding, he planned to return to pursue on the family farm following his cricket career.Jamie Pandaram (28 November 2014).

I think a more personal insight is needed in the article. Cheers.

Regarding this addition of two supercategories, which reverted my edits [12] [13] ...
If, as User:Lugnuts asserts, "all cricketers have these parent cats", could someone please add {{ Non-diffusing subcategory}} to Category:Australian Test cricket centurions, Category:Australia One Day International cricketers and {{ All included}} to the relevant parent category. I'm not knowledgeable enough on the subject to agree or disagree with Lugnuts' assertion - but there is a clear discrepancy between the current category inclusion and WP:SUBCAT's
A page or category should rarely be placed in both a category and a subcategory or parent category (supercategory) of that category
that we ought to resolve. Mitch Ames ( talk) 13:10, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
There's been a fair amount of vandalism on the page, some of which was potentially libellous/defamatory. I've semi-protected it for a while. I'd really rather not fully protect, but happy to if needed. -- Dweller ( talk) 16:41, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Phillip Hughes. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.
This message was posted before February 2018.
After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than
regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors
have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the
RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{
source check}}

There are mentions of "tributes" to Phillip Hughes by various players when they reach the score of 63 (the score he was on when he received his final delivery). However I submit it is debatable these are tributes to him, but rather the score of 63 has now become "bad luck", and players are simply performing simple rituals to ward off the "bad luck", and are not tributes at all.
