Michael James (cricketer, born 1987)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Played a single match, not worthy of biography as he never intended to become a professional cricketer. Fails WP:GNG. Störm  (talk)  22:54, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Neutral. I wrote this article, and had doubts about its worthiness at the time, and still have them. Whatever consensus is reached is fine by me. Sammyrice (talk) 01:22, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Cambridge University Cricket Club players Has played 1 FC match, but I couldn't find any significant coverage. Using a similar precedent to that used by WP:FOOTY when a player with one or a few matches, but no coverage, they are redirected/deleted. Also just because he didn't intend to become a professional cricketer isn't a valid reason for deletion. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 10:08, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails all notability guidelines including WP:GNG; even fails the extremely permissive NCRIC since he has not played at the highest level. No significant coverage, only massing mentions and database entries. Redirect would serve little purpose due to the disambiguation. wjematherplease leave a message... 11:03, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Redirect to List of Cambridge University Cricket Club players I'm pretty inclusionist, but even I struggle with a player who played once for Cambridge, and neither scored a run nor took a wicket. In the absence of that type of redirection, delete. Most of the article is about a later career which isn't notable for Wikipedia's purposes. DevaCat1 (talk) 10:11, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
