Another cricketer who fails to meet WP:GNG. This RfC has already confirmed that SSGs like WP:CRIN do not supersede the GNG. CricketArchive and Cricinfo statistical profiles, which can be regarded as trivial coverage per WP:SPORTBASIC, are not sufficient to establish notability. Dee 03 08:34, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

- Procedural Keep Each cricketer should be independently reviewed. Govvy ( talk) 22:02, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete inadequate coverrage of any of these individuals. A procedural keep is just a beuaracatic attempt to stall such deletions when there clearly is no evidence that any of these individuals are notable. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 06:00, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete all- per obvious consensus at other AfDs of this kind. These articles are supposedly biographies, but are actually match scorecards. The sourcing is so weak that it's not even possible to determine the person's full name or any other biographical information. Reyk YO! 07:13, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete is the best option here, given the closing of recent very similar AfD. I might consider redirecting S. Chakravarthi to List of Assam cricketers and K. P. Rajagopal to List of Kerala cricketers as lists exist for the teams they played for.
- In the case of all the other articles, we have a single cricket match, a surname and some initials with little, if any, hope of sourcing anything more detailed. The biographies fail WP:GNG - I consider it very unlikely that we'll be able to source anything more on these - if we do, of course, then re-creating the article is easy.
- In the case of the two Indian cricketers above, each played two matches but otherwise the same applies - we have nothing to be able to add anything at all to the article.
- Given the similarities of the articles and the lack of details we have on each one, I consider it appropriate to bundle them. If they were hugely different to each other then I might agree that they shouldn't be, but it's clear that WP:BEFORE has been met in my view, so can see no reason to procedurally close them.
