Is this page worthy of being in an encyclopeadia? Is this important at all?

He is no more or less important and noteworthy than many other cricketers who have articles on wikipedia Say Hello 16:05, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm not so sure. A person who has played 6 ODIs and no tests? Anyway the larger question is, should such articles (and this one in particular) find their way into an ENCYCLOPEADIA? Does Wipidedia have a provision to delete unimportant entries? Who gets to decide what is important might be subjective. But if certain standards are not upheld, will it not lead to dilution of quality? We are in the process of developing an encyclopeadia, not a database of home pages.
