 * Weak redirect to List of Sussex County Cricket Club players Has only played 1 FC match, and a search brought about limited responses. Sources though may well exist offline though, especially as the match was against a touring West Indian side. Using a similar precedent to that used by WP:FOOTY where a player with one or a few matches, but no coverage, is redirected/deleted, and a suitable WP:ATD exists. No qualms if this page is kept though as there's a chance there may well be significant coverage offline. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 12:03, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Having played in a FC match for Sussex, and has a mention in Wisden for his obit.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 17:43, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. No significant coverage, only passing mentions and a one line obit, so fails WP:GNG. Came into the Sussex team against the West Indies as a "local amateur" replacement, and except for the scorecards of that match and local club cricket reports there don't seem to be any other mentions of him and it's unlikely any significant coverage exists. wjematherplease leave a message... 18:25, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is supposed to be based on significant coverage, which is not at all present here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:12, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete clearly fails WP:GNG, a requirement for sports biographies. SportingFlyer  T · C  16:38, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Not enough coverage for us to write a biography. List of Sussex County Cricket Club players is basically a navigational list of blue links, so doesn't seem a suitable redirect target.Pontificalibus 14:14, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
