Delete another in a long line of non-notable cricket players.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:20, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Remember the good old days when AfD debates such as the original for this article were populated by people who cared for the cricket project? Of course not, nobody who sends cricket articles for deletion in those days was around back then when they could easily have been finding sources for themselves.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete. I didn't found sufficient coverage that makes him notable. Doesn't meet general notability guidelines. Rondolinda (talk) 23:38, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete as notability is not evident. Bobo192 makes a curious point in reference to the original AfD over 10 years ago, and although there was a slight keep pile-on back then, I don't see any evidence that notability has been established in the time passed. Although observing the guidelines set out per WP:CRIN, I don't see how this article could be developed or determine the subject as being notable.

The odd thing is that, unlike many others which have been put forward for deletion, this player has played within (most of) our lifetimes. I wonder if this makes it more possible that print sources are available to those who have access to archives. I mean this in the nicest way possible, but of all the articles put up to AfD, this is probably the least appropriate player to make this argument for. This guy has played within our lifetimes.

It isn't totally out of the question that print/book sources may exist, but simply assuming they do doesn't mean they do. I vote weakly as I take the points mentioned that there is a "possibility" that notability may be there, but it isn't proven and there is no evidence based on available material. Bungle ^{(talk • contribs)} 11:18, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I will continue to make this argument however many people throw arguments against WP:PRESUME or others at me. Bobo . 11:26, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I forgot to make this comment all that time ago, but at least a "Players by team" article exists for this time. Bobo . 11:26, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Maybe instead of lamenting that no editor has added sources since the nomination we should remark that no editor has added one single significant reference in the >9.5 years since this was nominated the first time. For that little effort, there's nothing worth WP:PRESERVEing. One reference to a bare database entry fulfills neither WP:NCRIC nor WP:GNG.
