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)[reply]
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...} 12:21, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of East Pakistan first-class cricketers seems the best solution here as the article title isn't likely to ever be used for anything else. This is consistent with a range of similar articles over the past few years. I'm not opposed to deletion as such given the lack of sources - a technical pass of NCRIC but failure of GNG.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete, 1 game is nowhere near enough for encyclopedic inclusion when failing other guidelines, as shown in 100+ sports AFDs. Geschichte (talk) 07:47, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of East Pakistan first-class cricketers - no evidence of the sort of coverage required for a stand-alone article but ATDs must be considered Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 09:28, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
