Comment - given that Bora died relatively young, and within the digital age, I wonder if there is anything about him in print media that we won't have immediate access to. Just a thought. Bobo . 21:00, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not at all a passing of GNG. What is this about Bora dieing? The article says he is alive? Am I missing something?John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:03, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's strange. I looked up the profile of the user who added the Living people category and can't see anything about them that would be regarded as suspicious - although it is interesting that they have barely edited since 2013. Bobo . 21:11, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing suspicious about following Wikipedia BLP policy and assuming people are living unless stated otherwise. Anyway, I have updated the article per the source given. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 21:21, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry, I'm equally as suspicious of people who would rather send articles to AfD than expand them to their satisfaction. *shrug* Well, you can't win them all. Bobo . 21:24, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Expand them from what exactly? Significant coverage simply doesn't seem to exist in almost every case that has been nominated. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 21:47, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's not my question to answer. Anyway, my original point about printed non-Internet material still stands. Bobo . 21:49, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Redirect to List of Assam cricketers - there is no evidence that this cricketer passes GNG so the article should be redirected. No prejudice against creating it again in the future if sources are ever found. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 14:07, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
