 * Keep has played in first-class matches, so passes WP:NCRIC. This user is now making a campaign of harassment/stalking following their lack of good-faith shown in a recent ANI thread. They also stated that they'd reduce their AfDs from 40 a day to five, in this is their seventh AfD listed in the last 24 hours.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 08:31, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Federally Administered Tribal Areas cricket team Has played 4 FC matches, but while coverage may exist offline and in Pakistani sources I couldn't find any. A Hafeez-ur-Rehman has played in the recent Abu Dhabi T10 league but I think he's a different person despite linking to this person. Using a similar precedent to that used by WP:FOOTY where a player with one or a few matches but no coverage, they are deleted/redirected. If he is the player in the Abu Dhabi T10 league, please ping me and i'll reconsider my vote. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 10:17, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
 * ESPN Crininfo is listing him as the same 26 year old left-handed player in this article on the Deccan Gladiators squad https://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/squad/1248809.html and they're usually pretty reliable about internationally televised competitions, so I think it is the same player.

 * Keep Has played 4 FC matches so passes WP:NCRIC and also seems to have an article career still, playing in the most recent addition of the Abu Dhabi T10 league so more coverage will likely come. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 10:05, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete The article fails GNG which is the minimum required for any article. It is actually Lugnuts who is out of line fighting to keep hhundreds of articles in clear violation of GNG. Wikipedia needs to be cleansed of these junk cricket articles now, we are not cricketpedia, or at least not supposed to be.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:01, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
 * If that's the case, Lambert, start an ANI thread.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 17:26, 17 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete or redirect. For players for whom only statistical match information exists, a better way to present this information is in a list article. There's not enough here for a stand-alone article. WP:SPORTCRIT specifically says mere statistical coverage does not establish notability. Reyk YO! 16:11, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. No significant coverage to be found, only wide-ranging databases built on scorecard data and passing mentions in various weekly roundup reports, so fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTCRIT. This trumps the trivial pass of WP:NCRIC, which is by consensus unreliable predictor of coverage for cricketers such as these who have played very few matches, in this case for a lesser regional association. Played far more cricket for Rawalpindi in non-FC age-group cricket, and for Humak Engineering in Grade-II and lesser cricket, so a redirect to List of Federally Administered Tribal Areas cricketers‎ may be undue, although it would be an accepted ATD. wjematherplease leave a message... 17:27, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep He has played 4 first class matches, which is more than a 'trivial' pass of WP:NCRIC. And he was actually fairly successful, with 12 wickets at about 30 each, adding notability (although he would have passed in any case irrespective of performances after this many games. Article needs to be expanded. DevaCat1 (talk) 08:18, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment The player was actually covered in the UAE media after playing in their domestic system. He was also drafted to play in 2021 T10 League but never played. I dont think that is enough to be notable. Human (talk) 16:56, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Isn't coverage in the UAE media exactly what would be required to pass WP:GNG? Coverage doesn't only matter if it's in the US or British media. DevaCat1 (talk) 21:11, 22 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete clearly fails WP:GNG, a requirement for sports bios. SportingFlyer  T · C  16:18, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
