 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete 7 matches but only for uni sides, only really database results in a search, nothing that could be considered GNG coverage. There may be some stuff about him in Wisden but I'm not sure. Games were for 2 different uni sides so there's no good redirect here. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 18:55, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep First class cricketer. Tintin 02:00, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per Tintin. WP:CRIN clearly says that any player playing any domestic match are considered notable. And there are reliable sources like ESPN Cricinfo, Wisden and CricketArchive that says that player is notable. I don't know why Storm is nominating suitable cricket articles for deletion in a mass. — Preceding unsigned comment added by A.A Prinon (talk • contribs) 02:40, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:GNG, which, yes, WP:CRIN must genuflect to. SportingFlyer  T · C  20:39, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. 7 matches at FC level. StickyWicket (talk) 14:51, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment. It would appear his name is spelled without the first "i", i.e. Dmitri, so suggest moving to Dmitri Ratnayake if kept. Found one source from when he was at school, but not much else. wjematherplease leave a message... 15:46, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. I could only find one SIGCOV source; notability depends on multiple of these. NCRIC does not supersede NSPORT (which itself does not supersede GNG), so even if it did say playing a domestic match conferred automatic notability (it does not say this) the subject would still need to meet GNG.
