Notability Notes
A question about notability was tagged onto this article shortly after publication. I will offer that I created this page (a Woman In Red, from the WIR wikiproject) because its subject is a current Jamaican international player, whose team went to the knockout rounds of the 2023 Women's World Cup. If you look at the the squad page for the competition, nearly every single person named to one of those elite squads has an existing, non-stub article, because to get selected to such a team they almost-necessarily must have a significant career in women's club football. So there's the general rationale: A woman of color, in a prominent position in sport, deserves a page - and if the coverage of her is slightly less than that of men's international footballers, some of that difference is down to the demographic slant that Women in Red exists to combat.

As to notability evidence, while some of the cites on the page are secondary/added-color sources, the following are secondary-source media coverage, either about or with nontrivial mention of the article's subject:

 * https://onefootball.com/en/news/london-city-lionesses-sign-midfielder-groves-38152898

 * https://www.comumonline.com/2021/10/lank-fc-vilaverdense-vence-derbi-minhoto-frente-ao-gil-vicente-fc/

None are slam-dunk top-tier media coverage, but collectively and combined with her national-team career I think they get her to clear the bar. Denzera (talk) 22:53, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
