Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shabana Latif
I agonised over this one because this is the kind of athlete for whom the presumption of notability in  is helpful. Surely an international cricketer would be the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources? But I guess not. As https://books.google.com.au/books?id=EXXGBwAAQBAJ&pg=PA432&lpg=PA432&dq=shabana+latif+cricket&source=bl&ots=AowL9Ic4M1&sig=ACfU3U3MrQvlQHYOGttYib7M_4Njulrs1A&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjli4Gop43kAhVGb30KHYwECas4ChDoATAAegQICRAB#v=onepage&q=shabana%20latif%20cricket&f=false this book linked in the nomination statement makes clear, Shabana was selected at Number 11 but didn't bowl. Nor did she score a single run in four career matches. In the author's words: "Like so many players in social cricket, it looks as though they were making up the numbers." Other than that, the sources tell us little about her. We know that she is from Peshawar or somewhere near there and had to convince her parents to let her play.https://espn.com.au/cricket/story/_/id/23130547/stumps-dawn But for whom did she play locally? Did she bat, bowl or both? What is she doing now? Is she still alive? These are the kinds of questions that a biography would answer. They are the kind of questions that significant coverage in reliable sources would answer. For completeness, I tried a hack search in Urdu, hoping that it would bear out the presumption of notability in , but I couldn't find anything. Others may have more luck, in which case ping me
