Nothing notable about him. No coverage found. Fails

  • Delete No indication of notabilty. scope_creepTalk 17:33, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I did try for the Namibia MCC tour, but "Namibia" + "MCC" produced only one unrelated response for 1st July 2000 to 30th June 2001 in both The Times (runs up to 2014) and The Guardian and Observer (runs up to 2003) digital archives, so he has no claim to notability based even on that.

  • Weak keep. Fails NCRIC, but there are sources with significant coverage which makes this a borderline GNG pass. Article expanded. wjematherplease leave a message... 15:21, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: To evaluate the expansion by Wjemather.

  • Keep - as with a huge range of other AfDs, the correct standard is not
    WP:CRIN which is passed by virtue of playing List A cricket. Although this is a pretty minimal pass. DevaCat1 (talk) 18:15, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply

    WP:VAGUEWAVE at such weak guidelines carries very little weight at AFD. wjematherplease leave a message... 18:24, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply

    Sorry,
    WP:CRIN is both on the front page of WikiProject Cricket, and states in terms that "his is the expanded detail of the agreed guidelines, that are summarised in the Cricket section of the Notability (sports) guidelines." It is also of no importance whatsoever whether you think that NCRIC enjoys community support- the notability guideline exists (albeit that this is a summary of the full guideline in WP:CRIN), and is the relevant one here. If you can say why I have incorrectly applied the guidelines, then please do so, and that would be appreciated by all concerned, rather than us getting dragged into irrelevant points.

    @DevaCat1: It isn't me saying it, it is the wider community: this; this; this, to list just three – there are also dozens of recent AFDs to confirm this. Passing NCRIC (or pretty much any of NSPORT) is not an automatic pass to a standalone article, especially when that pass is trivial, nominal or illusionary. You are also drawing an equivalence between List A and "highest-level" that simply doesn't exist. wjematherplease leave a message... 19:32, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    @
    WP:VOTE if you think that simply counting comments supports your view. The number of AFDs would not even pass the criterion of being a vote, as 80% of recent AFDs in cricket are from a single user, and therefore indicative of nothing. First class and List A matches are defined as such by the ICC Classification of Official Cricket document, which provides a clear, objective and independent criterion which is followed around the world. There is no domestic standard above those levels, irrespective of which sides the match is between. DevaCat1 (talk) 20:14, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply

    I very much doubt that, but if you do find such a discussion outside of WP:CRIC, let me know. You are misunderstanding the ICC's role, the criteria they lay down and how the various national bodies apply them. wjematherplease leave a message... 20:33, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep: 1 List-A match and a few bits mean it just scrapes on
