Delete. Another case where GNG failure is more important than technically passing the cricket notability guidelines. "J. Pocknee" brings up a number of references for this period on the BNA, but they are again WP:MILL. RobinCarmody (talk) 21:04, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - A first class appearance for a full county side automatically passes WP:CRIN. Whether somebody else has the same name is simply of no relevance to their notability. And WP:GNG is simply of no relevance here, as that isn't the standard for first class players. DevaCat1 (talk) 12:38, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Middlesex County Cricket Club players Has played 1 FC game, but no coverage. Using a similar precedent to that used in WP:FOOTY where player has 1 or a few appearances but no coverage, they are deleted/redirected. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 19:46, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per Rugbyfan22 if the appearance is confirmed, but he comprehensively fails WP:GNG. SportingFlyer T·C 23:50, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
