Autobiographical article about a athlete that fails to prove notability as per WP:GNG. The sources are far from being in-depth secondary coverage. Has not played for his country's senior team. A vanity page full of peacock terms. Domdeparis (talk) 14:55, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. I’m redirecting the Draft version at this one so it can be deleted at the same time based on one discussion. Legacypac (talk) 19:19, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep. According to this, he has appeared in games for the Punjab Warriors, which, as a member of Hockey India League, appears to be a top-level competition and thus satifying notability requirements. In addition, playing for the India men's national field hockey team may also count towards notability requirements. That said this isn't my area of expertise, and the article is so poor it may be a WP:TNT candidate. (I would like to request a relisting, either way, as this AfD was not deletion-sorted before now and thus many of the people who do know about this sort of thing may have been unaware of it.) - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 00:50, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Non-notable field hockey player. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 01:46, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:JNN. Please see above regarding his status. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 02:13, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • There are no topic specific guidelines for hockey players. So it is WP:ANYBIO that counts I believe. From what I can gather from the sources this player has represented India in an U21s cup the Sultan of Johor Cup (the original piped link went to an other competition). I checked out the links again and he is not in the India senior mens probables squad here, None of the sources attest to him having played 39 times for India. All of the links in the info box are piped links to other competitions. Of the sources there are only the match reports and the list of players sold that mention his name. He was a substitute player in the match reports and played an average of 7 minutes in each of the 3 matches.Domdeparis (talk) 14:01, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
