The subject does not meet WP:GNG. There is just one source in the article and there are not many good sources which go beyond a passing mention. The subject is a 27 years old domestic Pakistani cricketer and has no chance at this point to make it to international stage and he is already close to his retiring age. There are hundreds of domestic cricketers in Pakistan. If we started creating articles for all those then Wikipedia will just be a mess. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 04:10, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep He sails through WP:NCRIC with a total of 64 top-level appearances. Spike 'em (talk) 10:16, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• I am not sure if he fits the bill for "having played at highest domestic level" and whether the sources present can qualify as "substantial sources". These are vague terms in the policy and can be interpreted in many different ways. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 13:55, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

what higher level is there in Pakistan that the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, which is where all his first-class appearances took place? Spike 'em (talk) 14:45, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Clearly passes WP:CRIN. Seems to be another nomination from someone who doesn't understand cricket. If in doubt ask. StickyWicket (talk) 18:03, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Hey, I know cricket, alright. I just did not know that Wikipedia is exorbitantly lissome when It comes to notability of cricket players! Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 23:04, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. 64 top-level appearances is hardly 'lissome'. StickyWicket (talk) 10:34, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete article lacks substantial, reliable 3rd party secondary sourcing needed to pass GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:40, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Meets WP:CRIC. Cricinfo is a reliable source when it comes to cricket. Hitro talk 16:20, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
