Carrom is a tabletop game. This is a person who apparently plays the game well. Not notable. CitiCat 04:00, 17 May 2007 (UTC) I am also nominating the following pages of the same type:

Bholu Kapoor

German Jeet kaur

Harpreet Singh (Carrom Player)

Heena Habib

Kanwar Sudeep Singh Sandhu

List of Carrom Players of Punjab

Reeta Rani

Shahbaz Habib

Shamim Ahmed

Shubhdeep Singh Sandhu

Sukhpreet Kaur

There is also a COI element to the pages CitiCat 04:13, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete per CSD A7. It's definitely a COI, and although he might play Carrom well, that has not established his notability. --Ali 04:12, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. G1ggy ^{Stalk - Talk - Chalk} 04:14, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. May even qualify for speedy deletion as they do not seem to assert notability, but if that is not the case, they still lack any sourcing to establish notability. Arkyan • ^(talk) 16:03, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

• Comment, some of these appear much more notable than others, having played at national level. Players that have won at the Punjab State Carrom Association level appear to be worthy of note. John Vandenberg 23:16, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

  At most, and I do mean at most that might merit merger into Punjab State Carrom Association. At least if that page itself wasn't a copyvio, as it's just copy/pastes of this page and some other pages from that site. Having individiual articles would be like having articles on the top members of the Greater New York Bridge Association[1] (redlink intentional). CitiCat 12:32, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

  The Punjab State Carrom Association article states that it is the largest association in India; sadly there is no India Carrom Federation article to put that in perspective. I am not yet advocating to keep any, but I'm ignorant enough to say that delete isnt clear to me. After all, we do keep articles about players of bridge: Category:American bridge players. John Vandenberg 15:20, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

  I've read through the bridge players, almost all of them are either world champions, or notable for non-bridge playing reasons, such as authoring well known books. Obviously we're getting off topic, and what I'm saying now really has nothing to do with this AFD. And I certainly don't mean to argue the point. I understand what you are saying, but I still don't think that carrom in the Punjab region has enough notice outside its own participants to be notable. CitiCat 22:54, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete all. Not notable enough yet. utcursch | talk 12:48, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete all for not passing WP:BIO. External sources are needed, the one supplied is not enough in my opinion. Bjelleklang - talk Bug Me 02:49, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Tip to nominator: Consider using the proposed deletion process for uncontroversial deletions, such as this one. Thanks! -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:42, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
