Hi. The article you created, William S Jones, was up for deletion as it didn't indicate notability. From what was written Second XI and Minor counties appearances are non-notable. But I thought I'd heard his name in county cricket, so a quick check on CricketArchive shows he is notable, as he has appeared in a single List A match for Leicestershire. So that saved the article, plus I have rewritten it into a typical small cricket article format and per naming conventions we use on here, I've moved the article to William Jones (cricketer, born 1990).
