The result was delete. WP:GNG is the gold standard for notability, and all other criteria derive their authority solely from it. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 11:44, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete one source, short article, and nothing signifying notability of any kind, i concurr with Johnpacklambert Totalstgamer (talk) 16:52, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - as with a huge range of other AfDs, the correct standard is not WP:GNG, but WP:CRIN which is passed by virtue of playing first class and List A cricket. This article needs to be improved, not deleted. DevaCat1 (talk) 18:20, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Has played 4 FC and 1 List-A matches, passing him for WP:NCRIC. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 20:09, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The keep arguments above are entirely non-convincing; NCRIC is supposed to be an indicator of whether a subject is likely to meet GNG (which is always the guideline). Since they do not appear to pass GNG (a search did not yield anything but the typical database mentions), them passing NRIC is absolutely and entirely irrelevant. And NRCIC is being questioned, anyway, because of cases like this, see Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(sports)#RfC_on_NCRIC... RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 03:36, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not my strongest delete, as there is one non-scorecard match report, but match reports generally aren't significant coverage. If there's significant coverage of him in non-English sources I'd reconsider, but as it stands this fails WP:GNG. SportingFlyer T·C 00:03, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
