The result was redirect to List of Worcestershire County Cricket Club players. As an ATD in the absence of substantive sources. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 23:07, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- What are these sources that you assert are likely to exist offline? There's nothing in newspapers, so were there other publications that covered County Championship matches in such detail that even insignificant players were covered in sufficient detail to form the basis of an article? ----Pontificalibus 11:30, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. You can't build a biography around hypothetical sources that maybe someone will discover in the future, especially when the sources that do exist don't indicate any impact whatsoever. GNG is not met here, full stop. JoelleJay (talk) 05:22, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to List of Worcestershire County Cricket Club players, where a note can be added if necessary to expand on his playing record and the fact that we appear to not have a forename etc... This is a well established ATD in such cases - I'd have boldly done it rather than bother with an AfD. If further information is found about him (it happens) we can then roll back the redirection and move forward. Blue Square Thing (talk) 08:35, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
