No general coverage. ESPC cricinfo is the only source provided, and other cricketing websites also have the same statistics as this. Per the stats, he played about 30 matches in his career. Bringing to AfD as a contested PROD. Jay 💬 03:15, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Jay. To prevent circular redirects involving a list of players, we remove the link from the redirected player's name in the list. Does that help? BcJvs | talk UTC 15:45, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The authors at List of Andhra cricketers can decide that, and in this case I believe an entry without a link will be removed from the list, resulting in the inevitable deletion nomination at RfD. Jay 💬 05:09, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There are lots of examples of lists of cricketers where there are non-linked entries that no one has ever, to my knolwedge, tried to remove. There are different ways of dealing with this sort of thing: sometimes, such as at List of Otago representative cricketers , someone adds a note to each player without an article; sometimes, such as at List of Kent county cricketers to 1842 we use a table to summarise each player anyway; sometimes we add an HTML note to make it clear where redirects come from; sometimes we use statistical tables; sometimes we just leave them unlinked and don't do anything else. But I've, honestly, never seen anyone try and remove them. If you're specifically concerned about the Andhra list then you could work through it yourself, ask one of the linked projects to work through it or ask one of the articles creators or significant editors to do the same thing. But there's, honestly, no evidence that I've ever seen to support your assertion that a name without a link would get removed from a list such as this.

Most lists I have seen are strict per WP:PEOPLELIST where editors choose even more stringent requirements, such as already having an article written (not just qualifying for one). If the cricket lists in general, and the editors at the Andhra one, allows for non-linked entries, then I have no problem with this being a redirect there. Jay 💬 07:32, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It is an established alternative. In general the problem in most cases is finding sources rather than anything else; playing top-level domestic cricket in a country such as India is noteworthy, and there is clearly some coverage of Krishna - see the article linked above. He played 35 top-level matches and was still playing earlier this year in the Andhra Premier League - all of which will have generated some coverage in local, print-based media that I doubt anyone here can access. If we had access to that sort of coverage I don't think we'd have any problems establishing notability, but we can't right now. At some point in the future someone might be able to, at which point we can build a proper article. Blue Square Thing (talk) 08:51, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
