Achuthanand Ravi

 * – ( View AfD View log )

An article about a young Indian cricketer. I can't find any reliable and independent sources supporting the claims in the article. Possible autobiography. Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 06:15, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete. Does not meet general notability criteria or the specific notability guidelines for cricket figures, in that this individual has not played at a senior enough level. Wikipeterproject (talk) 08:00, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - Can a speedy deletion tag be placed twice on an article???? I had PRODed it under the impression once a speedy deletion tag is removed it can't be replaced, clearly this person thinks they're notable (how they've come to that conclusion I don't know). They've not played first-class, List A or Twenty20 cricket. They make note of having played for India Under-19s (itself is non-notable cricket) which is blatant nonsense.  The entire article constitutes a hoax! AssociateAffiliate (talk) 10:00, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It is possible to replace a CSD tag. I nominated the article here, since the first CSD nom (A7) was declined with the following reasoning: "rm speedy: clearly asserts notability", and the second CSD nom was in my opinion inapplicable. I too think it is a hopeless page. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 10:42, 18 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment - Maybe this is the latest incarnation of Adrian Shankar! But no, common sense should prevail, this is obviously a blatant hoax. AssociateAffiliate (talk) 13:01, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete. Why is there a discussion? It should have been speedy deleted, because obviously the article is not notable. Intoronto1125 Talk Contributions  `
 * Delete Can not find any sources to back up the claims in the article. As for why it is not a speedy, it makes a claim to significance ("He has a batting average of over 60 in first-class cricket") and as I don't think that it is a Hoax can't see what other grounds it meets.

 * Speedy delete per Wikipedia guidelines. I agree that there shouldn't have been a discussion, not to mention I received 0 results on my online search when searching that name. SwisterTwister (talk) 05:59, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
