Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage. Also fails WP:SPORTCRIT due to having no instance of significant coverage in the article. History at AFD has shown that significant coverage very rarely exists for players such as this. There is no WP:ATD, as a valid merge/redirect target, i.e. List of Sri Lanka Police Sports Club cricketers (or similar), does not exist. wjematherplease leave a message... 10:38, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment - instead of telling me things like "guildelines have changed, you were there for the conversation", please show me the guidelines have changed. As far as I can tell, they still read "has appeared as a player in at least one cricket match that is judged to have been played at the highest international or domestic level." If people show me, then I'm more than happy to accept and to stop de-prodding. Telling me "I was there for the conversation" is of no use. I've literally lost interest. I've been suggesting "List of X cricketers" for years and the same people who want to delete first-class cricketers and not make lists are now insisting they be created. I don't have the energy or the will. I'm sure if these articles existed I'd change my !vote in a heartbeat, and all these !votes would change to "redirect if necessary".

 * Again with the feigned ignorance. You were advised exactly this a little over a week ago during this AfD. So to repeat, only international cricketers for Test playing nations meet WP:NCRIC; WP:SIGCOV is a requirement of WP:SPORTCRIT; WP:GNG is the bar that must be met; WP:CRIN is an essay (not a guideline) that does not enjoy community support (even more so since the WP:NSPORTS2022 RFC that removed all participation criteria from WP:NSPORT) so it is worthless as a yardstick for determining notability – and Sri Lankan FC competitions are not included in WP:OFFCRIC anyway. wjematherplease leave a message... 11:05, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete in absence of suitable redirect Fails WP:GNG and updated WP:NCRIC guidelines. No suitable redirect exists currently, as nom states, so delete unless one is created in the time the AfD runs. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 18:24, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
