Sialkot Cricket Association

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Looks like this was the page for the local team until the team page was merged elsewhere. Now it's just a single un-sourced sentence. I would have just laid down a PROD, but a now blocked user removed a speedy last year. I don't mind if this gets improved or re-created, but as it stands, this serves no purpose.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep and/or merge with Sialkot cricket team. The association is the wider topic, and could easily cover the teams which the association ran/runs, so should probably be the resultant main article. Centralised discussion is probably needed about merging the all the Pakistani regional cricket association articles with their corresponding team(s). wjematherplease leave a message... 10:32, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep I'd agree with what Wjemather is saying with it being the wider topic in governing cricket in the region. Also governs the Sialkot Stallions as well. Not sure how many association pages we have but I'd probably be better discussed on the project before deleting/merging. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 13:11, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep per Rugbyfan. I found this which at least gives hope of more coverage, esp. in non-English sources.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 16:47, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per Rugbyfan. I found some coverage about the cricket association to pass WP:GNG and SNG, although the article needs improvement by adding more content and references so that it appears encyclopedic. &mdash;  A.A Prinon  Leave a dialogue 12:46, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment Four keep !votes for an article that's still completely unsourced after almost two weeks at AfD, and I'm not convinced the single source passes GNG (NORG?), either. SportingFlyer  T · C  13:20, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

 * - I've had a go at a small expansion and sourcing. Ta.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 11:19, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Still not sure whether this should be merged somewhere, but my concerns regarding deletion are met. Can't withdraw, but no longer oppose. SportingFlyer  T · C  12:06, 3 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep following expansion. Sources likely exist in Urdu sources, so if anyone knows where to look and can read the language, feel free to expand! StickyWicket (talk) 11:18, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
 * The runs have dried up in ENG V NZ, so after having a look there does appear to be these:  it seems something dodgy was going on in the elections. CreativeNorth (talk) 17:34, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for finding those sources, that's really helpful :) Does that news source have an English language version? StickyWicket (talk) 10:45, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately it appears not, I haven't read the policy about foreign language sources but I think that they are allowed if there is nothing in English about what the source is mentioning. CreativeNorth (talk) 15:59, 6 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep as per the sources I found above. CreativeNorth (talk) 17:34, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
