Found this article by hitting the random article link. I see that this was speedy deleted back when the article was created in March and was recreated. This individual is not sufficiently notable, per WP:ATHLETE, with inadequate reliable sources available. --Aude (talk) 04:29, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep He played in Under 19 World Cup Cricket. That would seem to satisfy WP:Athlete.-- R andom H umanoid ( &rArr; ) 06:13, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Question, because I really don't know about such things. Is "Under 19" Soccer the "highest level" of amateur competition in soccer?  As an American, I think of the highest level of amateur play as being affiliated with collegiate play, but obviously, that isn't the case in the US with soccer.  "U19", however, sounds like some neighborhood association level of play, to my ignorant self.  Un  sch  ool  07:31, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Under-19 means only for people under 19 years of age, so no it's not the highest level of amateur sports. It's basically high school kids.  TJ   Spyke   08:20, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * We have the high school world series here and similar competitions for high school aged kids. Segregating competitions by age restrictions seems irrelevant in this case.  It feels to me like soccer is being ignored here but somehow baseball passes muster.  Cultural differences? -- R andom H umanoid ( &rArr; ) 16:06, 31 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:Athlete.  TJ   Spyke   08:20, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep The reference shows he has played first-class cricket which is one of the notability criteria for cricketers (see WP:CRIN). The West Indian domestic competitions in which he has competed (Stanford 20/20, WICB Cup and Carib Beer Cup) are all fully professional levels of the sport so in fact he passes WP:ATHLETE. I have improved the article and made it clear he has played first-class cricket therefore notable. --Jpeeling (talk) 18:15, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep per Jpeeling's comments above. Andrew nixon (talk) 18:28, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep — playing at such a high level does seem to indicate notability. I won't check, but I'm sure there are also other sources that also provide coverage of this athlete. MuZemike  ( talk ) 21:14, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep A first-class cricketer. -- Mattinbgn\talk 23:28, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
