- Keep meets WP:NCRIC. Ten days ago, I reminded this editor about the closing comments of a past RfC "As with the RfC on secondary school notability, this should not be an invitation to "flood AfD with indiscriminate or excessive nominations". This is one of approx. a dozen back-to-back nominations made today within a 30 minute window, suggesting no attempt at WP:BEFORE was used pre-nomination.

- Delete totally fails GNG which is the minimum standard for all articles. Any article that fails to meet GNG should be deleted. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 19:40, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. Fails NCRIC since matches against touring sides are not be considered to be the "highest domestic or international level"; even allowing for a nominal NCRIC pass, by consensus that would only provide an extremely weak presumption of notability that is extremely unreliable for cricketers such as these ( recent NSPORT discussion here). This also fails all meaningful guidelines including GNG and SPORTCRIT. No sources beyond wide ranging databases (including scorecards that do not count as SIGCOV); no suitable list to merge into. wjemather please leave a message... 12:23, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
- Delete or redirect to
List of East Pakistan first-class cricketers. Main concern against redirecting as a first option is the relatively common name may need to be used elsewhere. A technical pass of NCRIC but failure of GNG - the article sort of says it all when it tells us that it's unclear how come he ended up in Cuba in the 1960s.

- There actually no evidence from the sources that he was residing in Cuba, so I've removed that statement – this kind of OR/Synth is all too common in articles created from stats alone. wjemather please leave a message... 12:41, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
