 * Delete - the only way this could ever have passed any guide was under the old NSPORTs notability guides that were purely participation-based. Those have now been deprecated. Fails WP:GNG. FOARP (talk) 05:48, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Despite having a reasonable career, I'm not sure his statistics in this case would have been able to bring enough GNG passing coverage to warrant a weak keep in this situation. There is likely coverage offline and/or in non-English language sources, but I'm still not sure it will be enough. There's no suitable redirect here as he played for a few sides. There is though a film actor/director of the same name who looks around the same age. I'd be interested to know if they're the same person as there seems to be reasonable coverage of him.

 * A lot of Indian film articles link to this one fwiw - although I suspect that's more to do with inappropriate addition of red links to everything. I've asked over at the Indian film project is anyone can find out if this is the same chap or not. If it is, he's clearly notable. But I'm not convinced. Based on number of games, this would then be a redirect to List of Vidarbha cricketers - 16 games for them. A note would need adding, but this has been the long standing position with cricketer articles. Blue Square Thing (talk) 20:37, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
 * It looks like they're different people. The actor/writer is Madan O. Joshi, while the cricketer is Madan K. Joshi. StAnselm (talk) 21:08, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I've delinked all the relevant incoming links - ironically it was only yesterday that someone tried to tell me that I was wrong when I suggested redlinks be removed from lists... If this article is redirected then I suggest it first be moved to Madan Joshi (cricketer) to save future links to the wrong place. Blue Square Thing (talk) 00:01, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
