Keep WP:GNG is of no relevance; he has played a first class match and therefore passes WP:CRIN. DevaCat1 (talk) 16:10, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Saurashtra cricketers or similar has played 1 FC match, but no coverage. Using similar precedent to that used by WP:FOOTY when a player has 1 or a few matches but no coverage, they are deleted/redirected. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 18:31, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect per Rugbyfan22. Only sourced to a statistical database and comprehensively fails WP:GNG, which trumps any sports-related notability guideline. SportingFlyer T·C 23:53, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete GNG is the standard for everything. The cricket notability guidelines are absurd, "first class" matches are too common, and playing in 1 should no more make a person notable than having a significant role in just one notable film makes someone notable. Note that being on the field for a team for part of a game does not mean the player actually did anything significant, so even that comparison is flawed, but if actors and actresses need multiple apperances we should demand the same of sportspeople. Especially since the top sports people have played in way more games than top actors and actresses have been in notable productions. So the one game threshold is just plain absurd.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:41, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:GNG, the single first-class appearance doesn't seem to be covered by any substantial source. --Ashley yoursmile! 18:09, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
