Yuvraj Singh (cricketer, born 1998)

No coverage found, fails WP:GNG. Perfect example of why we should stop assuming notability based on one match criteria, WP:NCRIC need a revamp big time. Störm  (talk)  12:46, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep meets WP:NCIRC. As you know, there's been an attempt to revamp NCRIC, which failed. His debut was last week in India's top-flight T20 domestic tournament. Here's some coverage of him, which also notes he captained the U19 team too. Lots of false-positives in searches due to his more famous namesake, but at worst, there's a redirect to List of Railways cricketers, which you use as WP:ATD in most, if not all, of your !votes in similar discussions.

 * I also found this ("Yuvraj Singh selected in Railway Ranji team") which starts with "Yuvraj Singh, a promising cricketer from Bareilly, has been selected in the Railway Ranji cricket team..." I guess there's more coverage in Hindi than English too.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 13:12, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep for now at least. If this were a historic player who had only made one appearance and we had little or no scope for learning more about them, then I'd suggest a redirect or deletion without a problem. Current players where there is a realistic chance we find decent sourcing and who might go on to make a relatively significant number of appearances and who have played for a significant team (if this were an MCCU team, for example, I'd think differently; or maybe if this were Zimababwean or Irish player (i.e. in a less signficant league system)), I'm happy to give the benefit of the doubt to for a while. If he's not played anything further in a year or so, then, sure, redirect or delete. But I'm OK with a single appearance here. Blue Square Thing (talk) 13:02, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete, without prejudice for recreation should they meet criteria for an article in future. We don't have a crystal ball, so are unable to predict future career or coverage. As it stands they have played a solitary T20 match (not IPL though) and generated no substantial coverage, only incidental mentions in squad announcements, match reports, etc. Fails GNG. wjematherplease leave a message... 14:33, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, meets WP:NCRIC, and while that SN may or may not need to be revamped, as it currently stands, they meet it.  Onel 5969  TT me 15:02, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
