WP:BLP of a cricket player, not making or reliably sourcing any claim to passage of our inclusion standards for cricket players. The only notability claim being made here is that he exists, and the article fails to say anything about him that could even be measured against WP:NCRICKET, such as what league he played for Maharashtra in. And while there is an external link to a paywalled subscription-only database of cricket statistics, that means I can't get into it to see whether it adds a meaningful notability claim or not -- but there are no footnotes being cited at all to verify anything any other way.
So I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody who can access CricketArchive, and/or some evidence of Indian sports media coverage, can actually add something to this article that would constitute a notability claim -- but we don't keep unsourced articles just because there might maybe possibly be a stronger notability claim than anybody has been arsed to actually include in the article, we keep unsourced articles only if somebody can prove it.

- Comment. I've restored the content and rewritten it, but all we have here at the moment is a database entry. I haven't looked for significant coverage yet, but List of Maharashtra cricketers seems like an appropriate WP:ATD if none can be found. wjematherplease leave a message... 16:02, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to List of Maharashtra cricketers 1 FC and 9 LA matches for Maharashtra, but I'm not really seeing anything to suggest a GNG pass in English language sources. Redirect a suitable WP:ATD. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 19:17, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Redriect per Rugbyfan22. A technical pass of NCRIC but, there really isn't much on him; any users with access to Hindi sources able to find any additional stuff on him? StickyWicket (talk) 16:57, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
