Delete: Per nom, does not standout, never headlined any news. Just TOOSOON. dxneo (talk) 17:35, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Per nom. Unfortunately there are always people creating pages like this after one appearance in minor matches. Expect to see several others coming from the African Games. It could however be redirected to List of South Africa Twenty20 International cricketers. Bs1jac (talk) 18:23, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not seeing any stats site or article state that these players are being awarded T20I caps for South Africa, especially given they're playing under the title University of Sport South Africa. If you have seen something suggesting the award of caps, please ping me and I'll reconsider my vote. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 19:30, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Rugbyfan22: Up until this evening South Africa's games were being awarded official status (Cricinfo had T20I match numbers, debuts etc, and the player stats included these games as T20Is). The status has since been revoked, so agree that a straight delete is appropriate. Bs1jac (talk) 20:40, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – fails notability guidelines with no reliable sources apart from profiles. Toadette ^{(Let's discuss together!)} 19:50, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per nom. Robo^Cric Let's chat 09:31, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. Per Bs1jac's closing comments. AA (talk) 09:58, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Now Cricinfo has amended the team and match status, he definitely doesn't qualify for even a redirect! AA (talk) 21:13, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Looks to fail WP:GNG as there's no real significant coverage. South Africa aren't listing these as capped internationals for the players that represent them in the tournament, playing under the University of Sport South Africa title, so don't think the redirect is suitable.

Yep, as mentioned above, status has been revoked by the ICC and is reflected on Cricinfo. Bs1jac (talk) 12:34, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
