- 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.

- Keep. I'd image there's probably additional sources in Urdu/Punjabi out there too for this guy. But yeah, keep per Lugnuts. StickyWicket ( talk) 22:43, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
- 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) 21:04, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. Subject trivially passes NCRIC, which by consensus only provides an extremely weak presumption of notability that is very unreliable for cricketers such as these ( recent NSPORT discussion here), but fails all meaningful guidelines including GNG and SPORTCRIT. No sources beyond wide ranging databases including scorecards which are not significant coverage; no suitable list to merge into. wjemather please leave a message... 12:12, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
- Delete in the absence of a suitable list or redirect to. Trivial pass of NCRIC but failure of GNG and no suggestion that there is much of a chance of finding more in depth sources given his short career. Lack of a linked article on Urdu language Wikipedia further suggests that sources will be difficult to find. Blue Square Thing ( talk) 12:13, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
