 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. 12 appearances at the highest domestic level. StickyWicket (talk) 20:00, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep meets WP:NCRIC. Ten days ago, I reminded this editor about the closing comments of a past RfC "As with the RfC on secondary school notability, this should not be an invitation to "flood AfD with indiscriminate or excessive nominations". This is one of approx. a dozen back-to-back nominations made today within a 30 minute window, suggesting no attempt at WP:BEFORE was used pre-nomination.

 * 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) 19:40, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Twelve first-class appearances and a specialist position in the team: would be very surprised if there was no national coverage in Pakistan, especially as his period in his team coincided with its return to top-class Pakistan cricket. Johnlp (talk) 00:06, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. According to espncricinfo (here), he appeared in four first-class matches (12/28/12-2/21/13) and eight T20 matches (all in Sept 2015). However, the article provides zero sourcing beyond statistical databases. Such databases are insufficient to show that a player passes WP:GNG. The nom's searches (as well as my searches) have turned up zero in the way of significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. Moreover, and although this AfD has been relisted twice, allowing time for "Keep" voters to uncover such sourcing, none has been presented. A "Keep" result would merely perpetuate a micro-stub consisting of one line of text sourced to statistical databases. My view is that deletion is the correct result; if significant coverage is later found, there would be no bar to recreating the article at that time. Cbl62 (talk) 06:46, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete; all eight T20 matches were in the 2015 Haier T20 Cup, which was not the highest-level domestic T20 competition (that was the Haier Super 8 T20 Cup). The first class matches were played in the 2012–13 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy; the first two were in the round robin qualifiers, with the other two in the "Six Bottom Teams" consolation round – no matches were played in the "Super Eight", which was the highest level of domestic FC competition. As such this fails NCRIC, having not "played at the highest domestic level". Also fails GNG due to lack of significant coverage, and there is no reason to expect substantial sources exist, because none have been found for countless other similar articles. wjematherplease leave a message... 21:30, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails WP:GNG. Is this is even a serious article? The existence of a sportsman regardless of their "appearances" in the sport does not = notoriety. ≫  Lil- Unique1  -{ Talk  }- 23:36, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
