Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Balbhadra Singh
Unfortunately, despite all the circumstantial evidence we don't have |reliable source ''confirmation'' that the cricket player and the politician were ''definitively'' the same person, so I can't recommend a merge, but the problem with the cricket player's article is that there are no reliable or notability-supporting sources present in it to establish his notability with. People are not exempted from having to have any solid sources just because the article ''claims'' something that sounds like it ''should'' be notable; hoax articles ''have'' been created on Wikipedia which made notability claims the subject didn't really have in reality (musicians claiming chart hits they didn't really have, writers claiming award nominations they didn't really have, etc.), so the notability test is not what the article ''says'', but how well it ''references'' the things it says to reliable sources which properly ''verify'' the things it says as ''true''. So no matter what notability claim is being made, we still can't keep articles without sources, and we can't just ''assume'' that the cricket player and the politician were the same person until we can find a source which confirms it either
