No WP:SIGCOV on the person, so this fails WP:NSPORTS by extension of failing WP:GNG. Sole source is a database entry. SWinxy (talk) 22:40, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Sportspeople, Cricket,  and England. SWinxy (talk) 22:40, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep: he gets significant coverage across several pages in the book Double Headers, which I have added to the article. Yet another example of how we might presume notability for first-class cricketers, because - quite mysteriously - it turns that there are (often quite obscure) books discussing them. It makes me think there will be more, especially if we can look offline. StAnselm (talk) 23:05, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * And how does that make Vigar suddenly notable? With one paragraph? That is what you consider significant coverage? SWinxy (talk) 23:20, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * As I said, he's mentioned on several different pages of the book, not just the one I cited. StAnselm (talk) 01:34, 7 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete One whole source doesn't make him notable, noteworthy maybe. Nothing for GNG here. Oaktree b (talk) 23:43, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * how about six sources? BD2412  T 07:07, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment Not sure of his suitability for Wikipedia but here's a few things I've come across. He might be more notable as a footballer, he played for Norwich City as a professional in the mid 1900s. He's pictured in a team photo in The Norwich City story : 90 years of the Canaries on camera. His marriage was reported in a local newspaper and gave a lot of biographical details and a photo but suggests that he only played for Surrey 2nd XI but said he "had a distinguished career both as a cricketer and a footballer"; his death was also reported in a local newspaper and again stated that he played for Surrey 2nd XI Piecesofuk (talk) 16:05, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, the 2nd XI makes sense - the book I added to the article was all about how Surrey was in the unusual situation of playing two first class matches at the same time - Vigar was certainly the second choice keeper (after Herbert Strudwick). StAnselm (talk) 16:19, 7 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep I think there's enough here in both his cricket career and his footballing career for a GNG pass. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 16:51, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * There are only two sources. SWinxy (talk) 18:11, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * not making any argument here but two sources are multiple. ─ The Aafī   (talk)  04:40, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep at this point. Sources can clearly be found. A Newspapers.com search for "H. E. Vigar" from 1899 to 1912 yields over 250 hits, most specifically describing Vigar's play in sporting matches, some in great detail. BD2412  T 04:42, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
