The result was keep. Consensus was that the subject meets WP:GNG after improvements to the article.

A wp:requested move can be used to determine where to move the article to. Alternatively, a wp:bold move could be done. (non-admin closure) ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 01:40, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable sportsperson, sources cited barely mention him, no sigcov; fails WP:GNG / WP:ATHLETE. (Note: careful if searching, plenty of people by the same name!) -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 19:20, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Not seeing anything in searches in terms of getting anyway near to GNG. If there's no other sport he's been involved with other than cricket then he passes no other guideline either. Potential redirect to Assam Cricket Association but he's not listed in the article and there's no information on secretaries on the page. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 20:34, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Weak keep Per the work from Wjemather below, appears to be just enough for a GNG path. Perhaps a move to Nurul Amin (administrator) or similar would be more appropriate though. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 15:59, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  I'd probably suggest Nurul Amin (sports administrator) for clarity. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 10:38, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to All India Football Federation#Corporate structure as that is only claim to fame, but not enough coverage to justify a separate article. GiantSnowman 21:02, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak delete. Suggest creating an article when there is something to write about him. Tintin 01:58, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep. I've added a couple of substantial sources to the article. There is enough coverage online to suggest there is much more offline (and perhaps in local language sources), given his apparent contribution to, and impact on, various sports in Assam, and even India in general. There were centenary celebrations in 2019 marking his birth ([1]) and the stadium in Nagaon is named after him. If kept, the article should unquestionably be moved to a more appropriate disambiguation, since it does not appear that he was an athlete. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 09:12, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment That's my bad (the dab). It was on 'Late Nurul Amin', which I didn't think was an appropriate article title, so I moved it to what I thought was, based on the article contents at the time (said "great sportsman"). --DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:55, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you find a date for death for him, there may be some online newspaper reports. Tintin 12:59, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep: Per wjemather's work, just barely passes WP:GNG for me and he is the former All India Football Federation president. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 04:18, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Move There is no evidence that this person was a sportsman. As has been suggested above can be moved to Nurul Amin (sports administrator) Tintin 01:35, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Tintin1107: it seems you struck out your earlier !vote but haven't cast a new one. 'Move' is only really an option if this article is to be kept, and if you're wanting to argue for keeping, you may wish to make that explicit. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:15, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Weak keep. Thanks for the alert. Since the article has been expanded, no longer delete. Tintin 06:41, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
