Fails WP:GNG. No coverage found. Störm (talk) 16:26, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep meets WP:NCRIC, or at worst, redirect to List of Eastern Province representative cricketers. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 17:28, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep For Christ's sakes, don't go on a witch hunt now against cricket articles. This person meets WP:NCRIC, keep him. Lettler^{hello • contribs} 17:35, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails to meet WP:N guidelines. Notability is the measuring stick by which every article is tested no matter the subject or content. Every SNG that presumes notability based on criteria may do so but if articles are brought before AfD then we are instructed to base decisions on this and this alone. The subject fails this guideline and therefore the presumed notability is rebutted as per WP:N. --ARoseWolf (Talk) 21:33, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would also like to note that WP:CRIC which is where WP:NCRIC states it draws its information from states that notability is "presumed". That does not mean it should be kept. Consensus, based on guidelines, from this AfD will decide that in this case. --ARoseWolf (Talk) 21:41, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or merge/redirect to List of Eastern Province representative cricketers. Nominally passes NCRIC, which by consensus only provides an extremely weak presumption of notability, but fails all meaningful guidelines including GNG and SPORTCRIT. No sources beyond wide ranging databases and routine/trivial coverage (squads, match reports, etc.). _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 12:25, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not even close to meeting the GNG. That needs to be the minimum standard we hold all articles to.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:11, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete- doesn't meet the WP:GNG. A rebuttable presumption of notability isn't an exemption from sourcing requirements, no matter what some would have us believe. Reyk _YO! 16:17, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Redirect, can be recreated as stand-alone article once sources are actually found. Fram (talk) 16:28, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Redirect or Delete Other than stats that say he played 4 Eastern province games nothing else on the net, including Wisden. Either merge and redirect to List of Eastern Province representative cricketers or delete. Davidstewartharvey (talk) 19:06, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
