 * Weak keep/weak redirect to List of Northamptonshire County Cricket Club players Yes has only played 1 FC match, but it was in the County Championship. Searching was almost impossible due to the number of other Tom/Thomas Smith cricketers and a Tom Smith rugby player who played for Northampton, so nothing found, but sources may well exist offline because of the time of his career and playing in the County Championship. For some previous AfDs have found that other similar County Championship players (one or a few games) coverage has been found. If coverage can be found then obviously a keep, but the redirect is there if needed as a WP:ATD. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 09:46, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect per above - he barely passes the SNG, is currently sourced only to a website which fails WP:SPORTCRIT. If more information is found, we can always re-create the article, but based on what we know he's not notable enough for a stand-alone article (fails WP:GNG).

 * Redirect to List of Northamptonshire County Cricket Club players. Not enough there for a stand-alone article, but there is a suitable list article to redirect to. Reyk YO! 07:21, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
