Unnecessary
WP:CFORK from
Kapil Dev. He coached India for 33 games ever, which is not a lot by general coaching standards, and nothing in this article explains why that era was so exceptional that it needs a separate article, rather than just being a couple of paragraphs in the main article
Kapil Dev#National coach. Note: the fact that it's a GA is not a reason to keep, since the GA status is from 2007 and being challenged at a
GAR, and also good article from 2007 does not imply notable in 2023.

Delete - debatable how much of this article (which is an unnecessary WP:CFORK, agreed) should be kept for the Kapil Dev main article but that's up to the editor who wants to merge. I think there are maybe three or four good paragraphs to flesh out the Kapil Dev article. If anything, a new article could be created from the match-fixing and betting racket.

Merge with
Kapil Dev: Seems overly detailed for such a small bit of playing time/coaching time. Could be a brief section under a bribery allegations in the main bio article.

Very selective merge seems appropriate here. If, indeed, there's anything that needs merging. We certainly don't need a standalone article here and I wouldn't be particularly opposed to a delete outcome

Selective merge with
Kapil Dev Unnecessary content fork, however there is some information here that could be merged to the parent article.

Selective merge. This seems to be the most appropriate outcome here.
