Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zoheb Sharif
I actually think this article's a perfect example of why we're having such a difficult time with cricket generally. There's some coverage of him (in the sense that there are articles which decently mention him like https://www.ilfordrecorder.co.uk/sport/cricket-hainault-skipper-zoheb-sharif-happy-to-call-on-essex-3123598 and https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/outofwork-pair-planning-to-have-the-final-say-7235598.html), but it's all of him as a club cricketer and don't really count towards notability. There's some coverage of him (in the sense of match reports) like http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/other_international/west_indies/6710771.stm, which is not an insignificant match to have played in. What's bizarre though is that there's almost no coverage of him online in his four games with Essex, in spite of him playing during the "internet era." Cricinfo has a blurb, meaning it's more than  this time at least, and there's the routine transactional stuff such as https://www.gazette-news.co.uk/news/5449201.cricket-essex-wield-axe/. There's a couple match report from the BBC which includes him but it's brief and match reports don't count. I just find the whole thing quite odd, really - there really should be something beyond the odd match report
