The result was redirect to List of Water and Power Development Authority cricketers. Consensus was that the subject passes WP:NCRIC but fails WP:GNG. All keep !votes have proposed redirect as an alternative. (non-admin closure) ~ Aseleste  (t, e &#124; c, l) 05:15, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep played in two first-class matches. Or per WP:ATD, redirect to List of Water and Power Development Authority cricketers.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 15:29, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete the article completely and totally fails GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:55, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Has played 2 FC matches, but I haven't been able to find any coverage. Sources may exist offline or in Pakistani sources but I can't find any. Using a similar precedent to that used by WP:FOOTY where a player with one or a few matches, but no coverage, is redirected/deleted. His 2 matches were for two separate teams so there is no suitable WP:ATD here. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 17:57, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep or redirect to an appropriate list. Has played two first-class matches, creating a pass of NCRIC so should be reflected somewhere on Wikipedia. Note the point from Rugbyfan22 above regarding Pakistani sources- it's for this type of reason that WP:ATHLETE advises giving more time for older sportspeople and for those based outside Anglophone jurisdictions, both of which apply here.

 * Delete. No significant coverage so fails WP:GNG. (Very) trivially passes WP:NCRIC, but the lack substantial contributions in his two matches (scored a duck batting at 10, and didn't bowl in one of them) suggests no significant coverage exists. Five years is long enough for an article to exist without the required sourcing. Redirect is an accepted ATD, and List of Water and Power Development Authority cricketers may be appropriate given he did nothing at all in his match for Lahore City. wjematherplease leave a message... 12:32, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
