 * 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) 19:47, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Subject trivially passes NCRIC (one match against touring side that is not considered "highest domestic or international level"), which by consensus only provides an extremely weak presumption of notability that is very unreliable for cricketers such as these (recent NSPORT discussion here), but absolutely fails all meaningful guidelines including GNG and SPORTCRIT. No sources beyond wide ranging databases (including scorecard data, which is not SIGCOV); no suitable list to merge into. wjematherplease leave a message... 12:26, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of East Pakistan first-class cricketers seems the best solution, although given the technical pass of NCRIC but failure of GNG I can see an argument for delete as well. Blue Square Thing (talk) 12:29, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
