The result was keep. There is a clear consensus here that notability is met. Some users have provided sources, others have pointed to WP:NEXIST. Although the nom's notes on GNG vs. SNG are noted, consensus is that WP:NEXIST is met and the subject is indeed likely if not certain to pass GNG. As such, consensus is clear to keep.

Non-notable cricketer, nothing significant in searches, fails WP:GNG. –dlthewave ☎ 16:30, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Played 25 games in his career. There's this and there also looks to be some other things in a simple search also. I expect there will be more offline and in Indian sources as well. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 17:53, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Per Rugbyfan22. The nominator needs to realise that nominating cricketers with this many appearances is unreasonable and will get people's backs up. We're not talking about one or two matches here, but a fairly significant number for which coverage of some sort will exist, be it online or offline in Hindi language resources.

• Keep - it is reasonable to expect coverage because cricketers with that many first-class matches usually pass WP:GNG. There is no urgency for expansion. Störm (talk) 07:27, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Played in 23 F/C games in a career that spanned the best part of a decade. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 07:50, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Played 23 FC matches, and has over 1000 FC runs, including three tonnes. This is by pretty much any definition a significant cricketer. The article needs to be improved, but that's a reason to improve it, not delete it. DevaCat1 (talk) 08:57, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per my comments at Dinkar Deshpande below. No Great Shaker (talk) 11:57, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Note to Closer: Please consider WP:NSPORTS, which is meant to help evaluate whether or not a subject is likely to have enough coverage to meet WP:GNG. Playing a certain number of games does not establish notability, and only one source covering a single game has been found. –dlthewave ☎ 15:12, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - notable cricketer. Riteboke (talk) 08:10, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment As with the other similar articles, the only claim keep advocates have is WP:NEXIST. Where might these sources exist? SportingFlyer T·C 15:08, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
