Non notable hoax. Zero CA hits and zero cricket related google hits and zero cricinfo hits and no hits at home website for the Deccan Chargers and no hits at the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association. SGGH ^ping! 13:11, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment The word "hoax", as with the word "liar", is something that should not be tossed about unless one can back it up. I don't think that it's at all merited, given that the article's author [1] has created various pages on sportsmen that cite to verifiable sources. This article, for no apparent reason, does not cite to a source. There is a person with this name who would be notable in his own right, [2] but he's listed as President of the Indian Newspaper Society and not as a cricket player.

• Delete the only reason I didn't tag it as a hoax myself but took it to WT:CRIN is because the editor has created other such pages which are perfectly legitimate. That said, there's no reference anywhere at all that this person is a cricket player for either the Deccan Chargers or Tamil Nadu cricket team as mentioned in the article. Any such player would be on Cricinfo and CricketArchive (search for Reddy) doesn't show this Reddy). Given that, I think the tag is appropriate. –SpacemanSpiff 17:17, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: this story indicates that a Tikkavarapu Venkatarami Reddy owns the Deccan Chargers. I can't find much else though. – ukexpat (talk) 18:52, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Deccan Chargers team is owned by the Deccan Chronicle paper, so this is definitely an issue of mistaken identity then. –SpacemanSpiff 20:23, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • It also says that he is the Chairman of the Deccan Chronicle and heads Deccan Chronicle Holdings Ltd. Aaroncrick (talk) 21:45, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete No evidence of notability. --Dweller (talk) 19:14, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
