According to the article, he failed to score a run in either innings in which he batted. Non-notable cricketer, nothing significant in my searches to pass WP:GNG. Störm (talk) 13:36, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Deleting a cricketer because he failed to score a run. That's a new one. Can we take a step back for a second? It's clear from our other instance right now that when we search deeper, information becomes available. Can we please, please co-operate as a project? In this instance we have clear birth and death information to run to so information is clearly available. Bobo . 13:41, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete it is not that he failed to score a run, it is that nobody took notice of it outside of statistics databases. Fails WP:GNG. SportingFlyer T·C 15:55, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep/weak redirect to List of Middlesex County Cricket Club players Has only played 1 FC game, but it was for Middlesex in the County Championship. While an internet search didn't bring up much, his career timing will likely mean that if coverage exists it will likely be offline coverage. We have a full name (two in fact as he was known by another name apparently) and dates of birth and death. On other players we have found information with even less than that, so hopefully over the course of this discussion we can find some information on him. If we find nothing List of Middlesex County Cricket Club players is a suitable WP:ATD. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 16:52, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, he was a baker and had a long association with Ealing Dean Cricket Club according to this. Still, it's a passing mention only and there's no evidence he passes GNG.----Pontificalibus 13:01, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Lacks significant coverage. Fails WP:SPORTCRIT, which says sports database entries are not satisfactory to establish notability. Reywas92^Talk 05:11, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
