Harrias
  • Nominator has made two edits to the article, and there is no evidence that they have consulted with other regular editors of the page prior to nomination, per the nomination instructions.
  • Generally the article is in okay shape, but there are a number of unreferenced claims that need citations, while the tail-end of the Indian Premier League section declines into short, often single-sentence, paragraphs.
  • The Awards section is in bullet form, without any context provided for most of the awards.
  • One of the references is a bare URL.
  • The article has a number of quotes that are not attributed inline.

I may provide a more detailed review if these points are sufficiently addressed. Harrias talk 08:24, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose from Fowler&fowler[edit]

  • Per the first reviewer, the nominator has made precious few edits to the article. Does the main contributor Dee03 know about this nomination? Why are they not on board? There is really little I can say until these issues are sorted out. Best regards, Fowler&fowler«Talk» 11:50, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
