Club cricketer who has made no first-class, List A or Twenty20 appearances. The article falsely claims this chap is a professional cricketer, furthermore all references are WP:ROUTINE. Why is this chap notable? In short fails WP:CRIN and WP:GNG. Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 16:51, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete; I have little doubt that he is a professional player: both the sources provided do back that up, and I was friends with a chap through school who became a professional cricketer, playing club cricket in England and South Africa, but that doesn't make a player notable. If he is good enough, then he will play high-level cricket, and meet WP:CRIN and WP:GNG, but at the moment he only has passing mentions in articles about other topics.

Delete per both the above. Fails WP:CRIN. To be notable, it is the level of cricket achieved that counts, not getting paid for it. ----Jack | ^{talk page} 18:47, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
