Subject does not appear to have 'non-trivial' coverage in 'multiple secondary, independent and reliable sources', therefore it fails WP:SPORTCRIT along with WP:BASIC, WP:GNG and WP:BIO. There's no separate section on "Volleyball" at Notability (sports), so, WP:SPORTCRIT should be valid here.

There's some claim of notability in the article, when said, "[..]also representing India in many matches from 1974-1985[..]", but it appears to me, a self-made claim, because I could not find any evidence to verify the claim.

Subject basically was a gov. employee, and a volleyball player who played for some university and an Indian state, but did not attract any media coverage. By SPORTSCRIT, it is not suitable for inclusion on Wikipedia. Am I missing something? - Anupmehra - Let's talk!  02:41, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete-I put a prod up for it earlier but it kept on getting deleted by the creator as well as a logged off user. Anyway going for deletion. Wgolf (talk) 02:46, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, I noticed that while reviewing history of the page, blp-prod, however, was not a valid tag to this article. It is not a biography of a 'living person', subject is dead. It'd help, if you could explain/expand a little your !vote. Cheers! Anupmehra  - Let's talk!  03:10, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
