• Delete and salt The article(s) of which there are many and of various spellings and names were created and promoted by a sock farm. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Imrutu. Investigations find a cricketing gentleman of this name who is too old to be the subject of this article. Likely to be a hoax based upon the determination with which the sock farm pushed it. Prior incarnations included the word Sisodia whcih is a potential BLP violation anyway as a caste name where the subject has not self identified and references to that are not provided.

• Comment there is a similarly named, notable, player Rituraj Singh which the creator of this article had tried hijacking. The links provided on article do mention Ruturaj, but there is not enough coverage to pass GNG and no evidence that he had played in any games that would lead him to passing NCRIC.

• Delete a non-notable cricket player. Cricket is as far as I can tell the weakest link in our coverage where we have allowed our over broad guidelines to justify way too many articles on people with no realize coverage. This is one of the factors in us about to reach 1cmillion articles on living people.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:03, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Dont Delete please do it if its still verifiable,and u say its the weakest link check the link twice and comment your opinion brother Dvd303 (talk) 04:26, 15 July 2020 (UTC)(talk)Dvd303 (talk) 04:26, 15 July 2020 (UTC)DvD303— Dvd303 (talk · contribs) is a confirmed sock puppet of Imrutu (talk · contribs).

• Comment there seem to be a number of new accounts who have made no other edits than taking part in this AfD (and are making the same spelling mistakes). Spike 'em (talk) 05:48, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • As if any more proof is needed, this comment was removed by Dvd303; I'm restoring to the place in the page that it was before this happened. Spike 'em (talk) 23:00, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • And to be clear, it is all of Dvd303, Samer rizvi and VK1818 that I am referring to here. Spike 'em (talk) 23:10, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment @Samer rizvi: you can only vote once at AfD and this person, even if they exist, has never played at a notable level that satisfies WP:NCRIC. StickyWicket (talk) 08:29, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as per the nom,and this Cricketer is non notable and never played at notable level thankyou WP:NCRIC — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samer rizvi (talk • contribs) 09:03, 16 July 2020 (UTC) — Samer rizvi (talk · contribs) is a confirmed sock puppet of Imrutu (talk · contribs). [reply]
• Delete or speedy deletion required, the user had enough given refrence link as a notable person but ok as per Wikipedia requirements this page requires a speedy deletion — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dvd303 (talk • contribs) 09:18, 16 July 2020 (UTC) — Dvd303 (talk · contribs) is a confirmed sock puppet of Imrutu (talk · contribs).

• Delete - Fails WP:GNG. -- Dane ^talk 04:06, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Christ, this has been a sockfest ain't it. But JPL is wholly correct, our notability requirements were notoriously slack in the cricketing department. Third-party reliable sourcing has not been presented to demonstratee the requirements of BASIC; I was also unable to discover any. This is particulalry essential when dealing with a BLP. ——Serial 17:01, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and salt. The scorecard references from CricHQ are almost surely fake (a top-order batsman opening the bowling and bowling 23.1 overs in a 50-over match! [1]). Dee03 19:16, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
