 * Comment - Travancore-Cochin cricketers are a weird beast. There are images of TC cricketers in their advanced age on their CA articles. I wonder if this means that there is further information in non-Internet printed sources that we would be unable to get our hands on. It must have been that they had a get-together when they were much older, though we have no way of knowing when the images were taken. Bobo. 21:06, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete nothing here even close to passing GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:27, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Forgive me for repeating my argument from the other TC page. There must be non-Internet printed sources somewhere - these players' profiles include photos that were taken later in life, presumably during the Internet age and certainly in a context where they would probably also be used in print media. CA makes no indication of where these images come from other than calling the source CricPhotos, which I can't find anywhere which cites who they are. Bobo. 21:39, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:NCRICKET. --IWI (talk) 10:20, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
 * And your argument is exactly why we have guidelines like NCRICKET, which this person does not meet. --IWI (talk) 10:22, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Has played a first-class match. Does not fail any subject-specific notability guidelines. Bobo. 10:56, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
 * How do you define "first class"? --IWI (talk) 11:24, 21 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Redirect to List of Travancore-Cochin cricketers Has played 1 FC match, but no coverage. Using a similar precedent to WP:FOOTY where a player with 1 or a few matches but no coverage, is deleted/redirected. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 20:29, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
