Deletion of I. Kudigame

Comment: this is clearly allowed by , if you disagree with that you should take it up at the discussion page (where an active discussion is under way where I agree with the nominator's basic point).  Procedurally, a consensus can't over-turn the 5 pillars or the 3 core content policies. However, otability isn't any of these.  With a lack of content, POV and OR are trivially met, and the existing sources are sufficient for .  As far as  is concerned, this clearly qualifies as valid content for a specialized almanac

Comment: I don't think it is reasonable to assume that sources exist which provide "'''|significant coverage'''" for Mr Kudigame, a player who appeared in one match in which he did not even bat or bowl. Even if a source gives us his first name in passing, that is still considered to be "trivial mention" and therefore insufficient to establish notability. Just having his full name (trivial mention) or statistical profile (falls under routine coverage) appear in one or more reliable sources is NOT sufficient to claim that he qualifies to have a standalone article

Comment: Although these obsessive anti-CRIN individuals will not admit it, there are in existence significant Sri Lankan sources as we were able to establish in the case of Suresh Perera (Old Cambrians cricketer). A contact in Sri Lanka was willing to check a highly reputable Sinhalese newspaper, ''Dinamina'', for a specific match report and found additional information about that player. While we obviously cannot expect anyone in Sri Lanka to perform short-term checks of ''Dinamina'' for every single first-class player, the match report she did check proves not only that Sinhalese sources exist but also that their cricket coverage effectively matches that of newspapers in the English-speaking countries. The fact of this level of coverage by ''Dinamina'' and other Sinhalese publications meets the terms of . These nominations are disruptive
