The result was delete. The "keep" !votes point to the number of fc matches, but do not show the in-depth sources that should go with this. Randykitty (talk) 21:48, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Redirect to List of Hyderabad cricketers (Pakistan) 9 FC matches, but as usual with Pakistani cricketers we're struggling to find sources of significant coverage. Coverage may exist on him offline or in local language sources though. Redirect is a suitable WP:ATD and could possibly have been BOLDly redirect to save the AfD.

 * Keep. One of the youngest first-class debutants ever . StickyWicket (talk) 13:06, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * And you know his age is fake. Everyone knows how they recorded age back then. Störm   (talk)  16:18, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Any sources which contradict the ACS info? StickyWicket (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete. Non-notable cricketer. Fails WP:NCRIC. Though CricketArchive is saying that the player played 9 FC matches, I can't find enough sources of significant coverage that tells that the player is notable. Besides, the article is fully unsourced, and reliably sourcing is a very important aspect on Wikipedia. Also, there is no profile/stats page of the player in ESPN Cricinfo or any other stats website except CricketArchive. &mdash;  A.A Prinon  Conversation 13:45, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete If his allegedly young age at debut made him notable we would be able to find reliable sources that discussed this. My search turned up nothing. So asserting that this makes him notable would be orginal research on our part.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:01, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
