Simply put, fails WP:N...has but one source, which is not independent of the subject, my google search yields several cricket websites and a Facebook page, none of which would be considered reliable per WP:RS. Go Phightins! (talk) 03:19, 8 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment - Some sources: Malla Inspired By Indian Stars, Malla denied Kuwait visa for Elite Cup, Malla steers Kathmandu to victory, Malla Alam star for APF; Far West hammer KCC, Khadka, Malla snatch win from KIC India, and Malla helps Nepal win practice match. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 06:15, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:CRIN. Player has played List A Twenty20 matches and has played at WCL 5 or above. Article needs a lot of work as its rather out of date, but that's no reason to delete. Andrew nixon (talk) 07:10, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep, meets WP:CRIN. For the record, ESPNcricinfo is pretty clearly independent of the subject of this article. Hack (talk) 08:24, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per Andrew and Hack. The suggestion that CricketArchive is an unreliable site is total nonsense. Jack | talk page 16:44, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not saying it's unreliable, I'm saying it's not independent of the subject. Go Phightins! (talk) 16:49, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * How is it not independent? Hack (talk) 16:51, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The criterion says "reliable sources independent of the subject"--a site devoted to cricket is hardly independent of the subject. Go Phightins! (talk) 16:53, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

The subject is Gyanendra Malla and general cricket sites are independent. The only kind of site that would not be independent is one exclusively about him. CricketArchive contains objective information about cricketers, teams, matches, etc. and is in no way subjective re any individual. Jack | talk page 17:00, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Agree with Jack. CricketArchive is not affiliated with the subject in any way. CricketArchive is not affiliated with any cricket governing body in any way. I would agree that a Nepal Cricket Association site may have some problems with being seen to be independent but this is not the case here. Casting the net wider so that any general site relating to a subject's profession is not independent is a step too far. Both Cricinfo and CricketArchive are independent sites. -- Mattinbgn (talk) 04:02, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Does having a profile on ESPN guarantee notability in your mind for a basketball or baseball player guarantee notability? Go Phightins! (talk) 20:27, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The subject of this article meets the relevant subject-specific guideline, WP:CRIN. The information contained in the ESPN and CricketArchive profiles verifies that fact. The same requirement would be true of a basketball or baseball player. Hack (talk) 02:00, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
 * It's not the fact that he has a profile on ESPNCricinfo or CricketArchive that makes him notable - indeed there are potentially thousands of cricketers with profiles on those two sites that don't come anywhere near meeting our notability requirements. What makes him notable is him having played List A Twenty20 cricket matches - List A Twenty20 essentially being the Twenty20 cricket statisitical equivalent of Major League Baseball.

 * Keep Agree with Jack. extra 999  ( talk ) 13:01, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Has played cricket at a notable level, with nine Twenty20 matches, as well as numerous World Cricket League appearances at Division 5 or above. Not too sure what the argument about ESPNcricinfo being referenced was all about! Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 16:57, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
