The result was keep. Clear consensus to keep here. Although nom's statement on GNG vs. SNG are noted and understood, consensus here is clear that the subject is indeed likely to pass GNG, and thus should be kept. (non-admin closure) Smartyllama (talk) 15:06, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable cricketer, nothing significant in searches, fails WP:GNG. –dlthewave ☎ 16:30, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Played 63 matches in his career, and then became coach of the side, also played for India U19 which makes me believe that there will be good coverage offline or in Indian sources. There is coverage in interviews of his later coaching career also. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 17:49, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per Rugbyfan22. The nominator needs to realise that nominating cricketers with this many appearances is unreasonable and will get people's backs up. We're not talking about one or two matches here, but a fairly significant number for which coverage of some sort will exist, be it online or offline in Hindi language resources.

Keep per RugbyFan22. Highly likely that sources exist, but they are offline, and quite possibly not in English. Neither of which are reasons to delete this article. Joseph2302 (talk) 20:44, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - it is reasonable to expect coverage because cricketers with that many first-class matches usually pass WP:GNG. There is no urgency for expansion. Störm (talk) 07:26, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Played in 60+ games in a career that spanned more than a decade. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 07:52, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep Over 2000 FC runs, including 3 tons, 94 FC wickets, including 5fers and a 10fer; 67 qualifying matches. This has no place as an AfD. DevaCat1 (talk) 09:11, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per my comments at Dinkar Deshpande below. No Great Shaker (talk) 11:58, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Note to Closer: Please consider WP:NSPORTS, which is meant to help evaluate whether or not a subject is likely to have enough coverage to meet WP:GNG. Playing a certain number of games does not establish notability, and no coverage has been found aside from an ESPN CricInfo database entry. –dlthewave ☎ 15:07, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - notable cricketer. Riteboke (talk) 08:10, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
