Nothing notable about him other than that he is a brother of former international cricketer Shaiman Anwar. No coverage found, just passing mentions. Fails WP:GNG which supersedes WP:NCRIC (previous nom comments were all about WP:NCRIC). Störm (talk) 22:48, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep played in first-class cricket, so meets the notability critiera. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 08:28, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural Keep This article was kept per deletion discussion literally less than one month ago. Nothing has changed in that time, if anything it's been slightly improved. It shouldn't be back at AfD so soon. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 10:30, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The case remains that still none of the coverage rises to the level of GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:53, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Playing in first-class cricket give him a pass for WP:NCRIC. Setreis (talk) 15:34, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He played in both first class cricket (which passes for WP:NCRIC) and U19 international cricket (which improves general notability). Plus, articles shouldn't be up for AfD every month in the hope that there is a different result. This looks like bad faith gaming of the system. DevaCat1 (talk) 23:23, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect to Shaiman Anwar, where he is mentioned and add one sentence. While it seems premature to bring this back the AFD so quickly, participation and discussion was minimal the first time round. No significant coverage, only wide-ranging databases built from scorecard data – which the prose has been synthesised from – and passing mentions in reports, so fails WP:GNG. This trumps the trivial pass of NCRIC, which by consensus is one of the weaker, more permissive SNGs. Redirect would be an accepted ATD. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 13:31, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep meets WP:NCRIC and arguably passes WP:GNG as well. One of his performances early in his carrier earned him a fair bit of coverage that can be read here. Also not much has changed since the previous deletion discussion, that was also closed as a keep. Inter&anthro (talk) 02:41, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This was renominated too soon, but that article is for a youth international, which we generally discount per WP:YOUNGATH. SportingFlyer T·C 16:29, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete This is still a strong delete, but not quite as strong as the other deletes considering there actually is an article that covers him! Unfortunately, it was a match report from a youth international, which generally do not count towards notability, and even though there are a lot of references they're all statistics or vague waves at his brother's notability. Still does not pass WP:GNG, the requirement for sports bios. SportingFlyer T·C 16:28, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural Keep. This should not be nominated one month after the previous nomination resulted in keep. That's not in good faith. Also keep because there are plenty of sources, played at first-class level and has recently played in Irish interprovincial cricket, playing Twenty20 for Munster Reds. Meets GNG and SNG.
