The result was keep. Consensus here is that the subject meets both the SNG and GNG per the sources participants have provided. Nom's statements on GNG vs. SNG are noted, but consensus here is that the subject is indeed likely if not certain to pass GNG, and therefore should be kept (non-admin closure) Smartyllama (talk) 15:07, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable cricketer, nothing significant in searches, fails WP:GNG. –dlthewave ☎ 16:30, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Has played 50 matches, and there looks to be a reasonable amount of coverage out there. Would expect there to be more coverage in Indian and offline sources as well. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 17:51, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Could you give an example of coverage that you've found? I'm only seeing stats and a few articles about his aunt Chandra Nayadu's death. –dlthewave ☎ 17:57, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah there's a lot of coverage of that as it's a recent event, and there's other mentions to do with Madhya Pradesh and quotes to do with his grandfather. Obviously this isn't significant coverage but I believe there will be significant coverage offline or in Indian sources due to his career timings and because of who his relatives were. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 18:35, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Per Rugbyfan22. The nominator needs to realise that nominating cricketers with this many appearances is unreasonable and will get people's backs up. We're not talking about one or two matches here, but a fairly significant number for which coverage of some sort will exist, be it online or offline in Hindi language resources.

Keep there are some basic sources from a quick search, and he comes from a pre-Internet era. Therefore, highly likely that sources exist, but they are offline, and quite possibly not in English. Neither of which are reasons to delete this article. Joseph2302 (talk) 20:44, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Could you name one or two of those basic sources? –dlthewave ☎ 00:43, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

RugbyFan has done so above. Joseph2302 (talk) 07:44, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ummm RugbyFan didn't name any sources, they said what they found "isn't significant coverage". Typically editors claiming that sources exist will be expected to name the specific sources they've found so that we discuss and evaluate, rather than simply saying there are lots of search results and there must be more stuff out there somewhere. –dlthewave ☎ 14:56, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - it is reasonable to expect coverage because cricketers with that many first-class matches usually pass WP:GNG. There is no urgency for expansion. Störm (talk) 07:26, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Played in 47 F/C games in a career that spanned nearly two decades. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 07:51, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This nomination is ridiculous, and merely demonstrates that the nominator has no more understanding of cricket and what is important in it, and is likely to generate press coverage, than I do of pelota. He has 47 FC matches, scored nearly 2000 runs, and took 35 wickets. I would ask the nominator what his WP:BEFORE searches consisted of, because he's referenced on page 913 of Wisden 1969 for scoring 54 for Madhya Pradesh against Vidarbha; that took me about 5 minutes to find as the first reference. Pretty sure I could get far more detail if I were willing to devote more time even to English hardcopy sources, let alone if I could actually read Hindi.

Keep per my comments at Dinkar Deshpande below. No Great Shaker (talk) 11:57, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The two pieces of information I was able to find about him online were [1] (is TOI a reliable source?) and this [2], which doesn't show notability but can probably be used in the article. Everything else online comes from the fact he's related to Chandra Nayadu (apart from an op-ed on an unrelated topic written by someone with his name.) The only grounds for keeping this at the moment are WP:NEXIST. SportingFlyer T·C 13:38, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - notable cricketer. Riteboke (talk) 08:10, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
