Jyothi Krishna (cricketer)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

No general coverage. ESPC cricinfo is the only source provided, and other cricketing websites also have the same statistics as this. Per the stats, he played about 30 matches in his career. Bringing to AfD as a contested PROD. Jay 💬 03:15, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Redirect to List of Andhra cricketers Once again, not sure why my redirect was moved. WP:ATD is policy. It's highly likely the subject fails GNG despite the games that he played, but he did play those games, so has some notability. There is a clear redirect here per WP:ATD.

 * Redirect to List of Andhra cricketers as a valid WP:ATD. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:42, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Per the consensus established at multiple AfD and other discussions going back to at least 2018, this is a clear redirect to the team the person played for most frequently or their most significant team. In this case clearly List of Andhra cricketers. A note can be added their to partially merge some of the content if there's someone prepared to do this. It's worth noting that his fullname, per CricketArchive, is Nakketla Jyothi Sai Krishna and he seems to be regularly known as Jyothi Sai Krishna - it might be worth the article being merged first with Jyothi Sai Krishna - which is already a redirect about the same person - in order to allow more sources to be picked up. Certainly his full name brings up an article in the Hindu which is clearly significant coverage and could probably be used to build the article up a bit. I can't find very much more at present so am happy with the redirect, but that article is well worth adding as a source for the note. Blue Square Thing (talk) 08:14, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Andhra cricketers per WP:ATD and the comments above. BcJvs  &#124;  talk  UTC 11:36, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Andhra cricketers per WP:ATD policy. Joseph2302 (talk) 12:12, 25 November 2022 (UTC) I appear to have voted twice, so have unbolded this vote. This doesn't affect the discussion below in reply. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:32, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I do not wish to convert this to a redirect discussion, we have WP:RfD for that. If the BLAR was to a suitable list, I wouldn't have brought this to AfD. From what I see, the suggested target list has entries with articles or redlinks, and Jyothi Krishna, if redirected there, will be neither, and we can't have circular redirects. Jay  💬 15:15, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello, . To prevent circular redirects involving a list of players, we remove the link from the redirected player's name in the list. Does that help? BcJvs  &#124;  talk  UTC 15:45, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * The authors at List of Andhra cricketers can decide that, and in this case I believe an entry without a link will be removed from the list, resulting in the inevitable deletion nomination at RfD. Jay  💬 05:09, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
 * There are lots of examples of lists of cricketers where there are non-linked entries that no one has ever, to my knolwedge, tried to remove. There are different ways of dealing with this sort of thing: sometimes, such as at List of Otago representative cricketers, someone adds a note to each player without an article; sometimes, such as at List of Kent county cricketers to 1842 we use a table to summarise each player anyway; sometimes we add an HTML note to make it clear where redirects come from; sometimes we use statistical tables; sometimes we just leave them unlinked and don't do anything else. But I've, honestly, never seen anyone try and remove them. If you're specifically concerned about the Andhra list then you could work through it yourself, ask one of the linked projects to work through it or ask one of the articles creators or significant editors to do the same thing. But there's, honestly, no evidence that I've ever seen to support your assertion that a name without a link would get removed from a list such as this.

 * Most lists I have seen are strict per WP:PEOPLELIST where editors choose even more stringent requirements, such as already having an article written (not just qualifying for one). If the cricket lists in general, and the editors at the Andhra one, allows for non-linked entries, then I have no problem with this being a redirect there. Jay  💬 07:32, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
 * It is an established alternative. In general the problem in most cases is finding sources rather than anything else; playing top-level domestic cricket in a country such as India is noteworthy, and there is clearly some coverage of Krishna - see the article linked above. He played 35 top-level matches and was still playing earlier this year in the Andhra Premier League - all of which will have generated some coverage in local, print-based media that I doubt anyone here can access. If we had access to that sort of coverage I don't think we'd have any problems establishing notability, but we can't right now. At some point in the future someone might be able to, at which point we can build a proper article. Blue Square Thing (talk) 08:51, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
