Kapil Dev as Indian national cricket coach

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

Unnecessary WP:CFORK from Kapil Dev. He coached India for 33 games ever, which is not a lot by general coaching standards, and nothing in this article explains why that era was so exceptional that it needs a separate article, rather than just being a couple of paragraphs in the main article Kapil Dev. Note: the fact that it's a GA is not a reason to keep, since the GA status is from 2007 and being challenged at a GAR, and also good article from 2007 does not imply notable in 2023.

 * Delete - debatable how much of this article (which is an unnecessary WP:CFORK, agreed) should be kept for the Kapil Dev main article but that's up to the editor who wants to merge. I think there are maybe three or four good paragraphs to flesh out the Kapil Dev article. If anything, a new article could be created from the match-fixing and betting racket.

 * Merge with Kapil Dev: Seems overly detailed for such a small bit of playing time/coaching time. Could be a brief section under a bribery allegations in the main bio article. Oaktree b (talk) 18:00, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Very selective merge seems appropriate here. If, indeed, there's anything that needs merging. We certainly don't need a standalone article here and I wouldn't be particularly opposed to a delete outcome Blue Square Thing (talk) 18:39, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge with Kapil Dev: Inappropriate fork. Anything salvageable should be merged. voorts (talk/contributions) 02:09, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Selective merge with Kapil Dev Unnecessary content fork, however there is some information here that could be merged to the parent article. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 19:55, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Selective merge. This seems to be the most appropriate outcome here. StickyWicket aka AA (talk) 23:13, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge selectively with Kapil Dev; noting here that I just delisted it as GA. AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 22:19, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
