Strong keep. As with so many other articles incorrectly listed for deletion, passes WP:CRIN by virtue of having played first class cricket. In this instance he also played four U19 ODIs, adding to the importance of the article. Furthermore, it's unclear what sources have been looked at by proposers for deletion, but it has been possible to add a large number of references from CricInfo, including match reports referencing the article subject by name.DevaCat1 (talk) 12:56, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Sri Lanka Schools cricketers or similar Has played 1 FC match, but no coverage. Using a similar precedent to that used by WP:FOOTY for when a player has 1 or a few matches, but no coverage, they are deleted/redirected. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 18:49, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or redirect to List of Sri Lanka Schools XI representative cricketers. No significant coverage so fails GNG, which trumps the trivial pass of NCRIC, which is by consensus a very weak SNG for cricketers such as this with very few recorded appearances (and we don't even have an article for the competition they were played in!). _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 19:35, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete my before search turned up only the directory sources in the article, and it was a U-19 match anyway he played in which wouldn't pass any other sport notability guideline, further showing how loose NCRIC is. Fails WP:GNG. SportingFlyer T·C 00:23, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Sri Lanka Schools XI representative cricketers - no evidence of the coverage required for GNG Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 22:58, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
