Deletion of Ziauddin (cricketer)

Comment: Doesn't meet the basic requirements of  or ; it has been shown time and time again that the criteria laid down by  are overly inclusive and a poor indicator of notability for players who have appeared in very few matches – nothing has changed with the guideline since the RfC linked above, which reinforces that view and makes it clear that arguments based  guidelines alone should carry little weight at AfD. Per SPORTBASIC, scorecards are nothing more than  proof he played; claiming notability requires much more than that. Incidentally, his performance in his one fc match suggests he may have merely been making up the numbers. As the only sources are indiscriminate statistical repositories (Cricinfo, CricketArchive, etc.), this falls well below the threshold required by GNG as there is zero significant coverage. Unfortunately, as a result of the limited sourcing, this is also nothing more than a mirror of those websites converted into a couple of sentences. If there were an appropriate "list of.." article, he would probably belong there

Comment: into a List of Pakistan Air Force cricket team players or similar. Firstly, this is not a biography but a badly disguised match scorecard. As stated in , {{tq|Trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may be used to support content in an article, but it is not sufficient to establish notability. This includes listings in database sources with low, wide-sweeping generic standards of inclusion, such as Sports Reference's college football and basketball databases.}} Trivial database scrape coverage is all this article has and if the cricket sub-SNG conflicts with this guideline, then too bad for the cricket sub-SNG. The Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Archive 135#The criteria of  here are too inclusive|2017 RfC confirmed this. Secondly, the Pakistan Air Force team played only eight matches in its existence, were pretty uncompetitive, and their star players were ex-Test cricketers in their 40s. This suggests that the team had problems getting players together. I think a guideline designed to give a temporary and rebuttable presumption of notability to competitive first-class players is a poor fit when used as a permanent exemption to  and  for fill-ins plucked off the runway. A list of players who turned out for this team is a better way to present all these database entries. Since the team played only a few games there ought to be no issues with length
