 * Delete per nom. I also doubt the photo is fair use either. StickyWicket (talk) 14:19, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment: Only one ref, and also concerned about the photo use, but should ICC Twenty20 participation count as achieving cricket guidelines? David notMD (talk) 14:20, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
 * There was much discussion about the inclusion criteria, I'm assuming Malawian cricketers from 2018 onwards meet inclusion criteria..? Although as I pointed out below, CA turns up no results for international T20 matches involving Malawi as yet. Bobo. 19:16, 3 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment: An editor pointed out that the one ref for the article does not confirm ICC play, so more refs needed. David notMD (talk) 17:05, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment: He fails this part of CRIN: "has appeared as a player for an Associate team in a Twenty20 International match after 1 July 2018 in either a World T20 (men or women), Global Qualifier (men or women) or Regional Final (men only)". He hasn't played in a global qualifier or regional final. StickyWicket (talk) 18:16, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment - There don't appear to be any scorecard results on CA for Malawi as yet. I assume I'm looking at the right section - International 20/20 matches only - as the new criteria are confusing to me. As I pointed out on WT:CRIC not so long ago, it tickled me that there were, for certain international teams, Malawi included, women's international matches before men's international matches. Bobo. 19:15, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Has not played in a T20I match. Cricinfo lists lots of "other T20" matches, which are not full internationals. And as an Associate player for Malawi, would fail WP:NCRIC, unless Malawi qualified for a Regional Final. Also, where does the article's creator get the date of birth and birth place from? WP:BLP concerns here.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 19:59, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
 * The nearest I can find is Abdulla's apparent Twitter page, which merely claims 1983. I don't know if subscribing to Twitter gives more information regarding birthdates, etc, and I'm frankly too frightened of the existence of Piers Morgan and Katie Hopkins to find out the answer... Bobo. 20:12, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I also note the article claims he made his T2OI debut in 2002 – which is astonishing, seeing as T20 cricket wasn't a thing until 2003!!! StickyWicket (talk) 20:46, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Indeed, Abdulla's first entry on CA dates from 2011 - only one other player, Gift Kansonkho, is still playing cricket alongside him in 2018-19. Bobo. 20:51, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
 * That's interesting, Lugnuts, AA, Abdulla's Twitter page has seemingly been updated within the last three days to add this information. Bobo. 01:22, 6 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete He hasn't played in a match that would make him suitable for the WP:NCRIC guidelines. If Malawi do qualify, then I might say keep but for now. HawkAussie (talk) 00:25, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:GNG, the only coverage of him that I can find anywhere are profiles in places like Cricinfo (which don't even have his stats because he hasn't played a game of high enough status yet) and match reports which don't shed any light on him. He may become more significant in future because of the changes to T20I status, but Malawi didn't even make it to the regional finals for the World Twenty20 so it's unlikely. TheBigBadBird (talk) 01:39, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment: Will playing in the upcoming 2019 ACA Africa Cup Finals would make him suitable for the WP:NCRIC guidelines? Murad400 (talk) 06:46, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. Nope, it isn't a regional final for the World T20. StickyWicket (talk) 11:19, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
