• Comment - 29 games for two different teams is a fair number to wonder whether there would be a significant amount of information in non-Internet sources. In any case, I wonder what the sources are for the players from Travancore-Cochin that their pictures were taken much later in life - perhaps they were used in some form of non-Internet printed media which we don't have access to.

• Delete verrifiability means that the significant coverage in multiple reliable indepdent 3rd party sources needs to come before we create an article. Unless someone actually identifies such, we are obligated to delete the article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:28, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder whether it would be possible to contact Cricket Archive to do so - of course the same argument can be made for the fact that we don't know who "CricPhotos" is and neither CA or CI make these clear. You can never be sure of the sourcing of images unless they are cited sufficiently. Not a badger, by the way. Just an interesting curiosity which seems to only apply for this side.

• Keep. 29 first-class appearances across 10 years or so is surely sufficient for there to be a reasonable presumption of coverage in Indian sources. If this was an English or an Australian cricketer, we wouldn't want for places to look: I find it hard to believe that in cricket-mad India there wouldn't be similar coverage hidden, to me at least, behind a language barrier.

• Comment: I doubt whether this is a duplicate article for Kerala Varma Kelappan Thampuran? If not please add a distinguish tag in both the articles later. Regards Kichu🐘 ^Discuss 12:05, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep 29 matches across a career of at least a decade would indicate notabilty. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 19:52, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
