Talk:Katie Swan

Notability
An editor flagged this article for deletion, for the following concern: "Does not fit with criteria, has not won a junior grand slam, not a top 3 junior or hasn't made a WTA main draw debut or won a tournament above 50k".

I'm planning to remove the deletion flag (whilst I understand the deletion case), for these reasons: Trafford09 (talk) 11:23, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Swan is 15, so still has 3+ years at Junior (i.e. Under 18) level. Therefore, if we delete the article now, we're just going to have to repeat our work later (I suggest we be pragmatic & let this one stay).
 * Whilst not having won an event, she beat Dalma Gálfi in the semi-final, and had Swan not had reported leg injury in the final (worsening groin pain, from middle of first set) then who knows - could she have beaten Tereza Mihalíková and thus won the tourney?


 * I don't think that her having lots of time left as a junior is a valid reason really. I support British players and all that but we have no WP:CRYSTALBALL, the junior Aus Open final could potentially be the pinnacle of her career achievements. But perhaps the media coverage of her could amount to significant coverage? Otherwise we should wait until she meets the regular guidelines. Fazzo29 (talk) 12:10, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi Fazzo. I take your point; the original author probably inadvertently jumped the gun. But given that the article's been done, I'm sure you'd agree that on the balance of probability, Swan will continue with tennis & improve before she's 18. I also noticed that she's already referenced in 7+ other WP tennis articles. I like your point about significant coverage; given her followers on both sides of the great pond, she's liable to accrue greater coverage than most. Trafford09 (talk) 13:08, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Accent
Just heard an interview with her, and she did not speak with an American accent. While this is admittedly OR, I don't think Swan's accent (as it was in 2015) is important enough to be mentioned. Any other opinion? Otherwise I'll delete this information. --Bernardoni (talk) 15:06, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Done. --Bernardoni (talk) 21:37, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

FP
Why is the Today's Featured Picture of Katie not used in the article? Isn't that one of the criteria for having an FP in the first place? Goveganplease (talk) 14:28, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
