As per recent discussion Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#The criteria of WP:NSPORT here are too inclusive : there is clear consensus that no subject-specific notability guideline, including Notability (sports) is a replacement for or supercedes the General Notability Guideline. Arguments must be more refined than simply citing compliance with a subguideline of WP:NSPORTS in the context of an Articles for Deletion discussion. "meets WP:CRIN" is not sufficient. Therefore I propose this article for deletion. This player is nothing more than WP:MILL Jone Rohne Nester (talk) 15:41, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep. The man is a first-class cricketer who does meet WP:CRIN as TWO reliable sources will immediately testify and others will confirm in due course. What a waste of everyone's time by someone who is obviously on WP to pursue a deletionist policy only. Jack | ^{talk page} 15:34, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep Knock it off with the indiscriminate nominations in violation of the RfC. This is clearly disruptive and it continues, we may have to discuss nominator's disruptive behavior in the appropriate forums such as WP:ANI. Smartyllama (talk) 17:32, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:NSPORT - "The article must provide reliable sources showing that the subject meets the general notability guideline or the sport specific criteria set forth below", which it does by meeting WP:NCRIC and the concerns raised at the related AfD about not flooding AfD with these type of noms.

Speedy keep and note the pointed nomination given the context. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:49, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
