 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep meets WP:NCRIC. Ten days ago, I reminded this editor about the closing comments of a past RfC "As with the RfC on secondary school notability, this should not be an invitation to "flood AfD with indiscriminate or excessive nominations". This is one of approx. a dozen back-to-back nominations made today within a 30 minute window, suggesting no attempt at WP:BEFORE was used pre-nomination.

 * Keep. I'd image there's probably additional sources in Urdu/Punjabi out there too for this guy. But yeah, keep per Lugnuts. StickyWicket (talk) 22:43, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete totally fails GNG which is the minimum standard for all articles. Any article that fails to meet GNG should be deleted.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:04, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Subject trivially passes NCRIC, which by consensus only provides an extremely weak presumption of notability that is very unreliable for cricketers such as these (recent NSPORT discussion here), but fails all meaningful guidelines including GNG and SPORTCRIT. No sources beyond wide ranging databases including scorecards which are not significant coverage; no suitable list to merge into. wjematherplease leave a message... 12:12, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete in the absence of a suitable list or redirect to. Trivial pass of NCRIC but failure of GNG and no suggestion that there is much of a chance of finding more in depth sources given his short career. Lack of a linked article on Urdu language Wikipedia further suggests that sources will be difficult to find. Blue Square Thing (talk) 12:13, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
