 * Keep - plenty of sources out there, unsurprising for somebody who made multiple appearances for Brazil and was a squad member at 4 major tournaments. Other sources I've found include this and this. GiantSnowman 08:22, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment Are you saying the UCF and FIFA sources are sigcov? Dougal18 (talk) 10:32, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * FIFA is, UCF is not. But there are already enough sources in the article, and more detailed below. Clearly notable, a bad nomination. GiantSnowman 10:59, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep - the article needs a thorough rewrite, however, the subject is almost definitely notable. Marca published a lengthy retirement announcement for her which is quote-heavy but still contains enough independent content, in my view. Another article from Marca, again, has a few quotes but plenty of analysis from David Menayo, one of their main women's football journalists. Olimpia Todo Dia contains a lot of information that we could add to the article. Yle, essentially the Finnish version of the BBC, wrote this lengthy piece specifically about her. Helsingin Sanomat, a major news source in Finland, also provides what appears to be significant coverage in this article but sadly it's paywalled, however, given that the first sentence translates to Aline Reis, who plays for Brazil in THE Women's World Cup, is one of the most famous goalkeepers in the world of soccer today. I would be willing to bet that the article is non-trivial coverage of her. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 10:45, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment. Helsingin Sanomat has a two-week trial option to view the article. The article contains significant independent coverage of her 2012 season with Finnish club SeMi. I've added a citation to the article for that part of her club career. -Socccc (talk) 15:48, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you. The article is now in much better shape. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 16:15, 18 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep passes GNG with the sources mentioned by Spiderone. Alvaldi (talk) 10:57, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - Per above. Seriously... Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 14:18, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notability is the least of this article's concerns; would rather spend time improving it than debating that. -Socccc (talk) 14:36, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per comments above, per improvement to the article. Govvy (talk) 19:19, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - I think there is enough SIGCOV available per Spiderone and Socccc, as well as a few Portuguese language sources (this interview is paywalled but looks to contain enough secondary coverage). Jogurney (talk) 11:00, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Easily meets WP:SPORTBASIC. This shouldn't have been nominated. Regardless, great cleanup by Socccc. gobonobo  + c 17:49, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Full credit to User:Dougal18 for the bulk of the post-AfD cleanup. -Socccc (talk) 23:13, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep possibly the strangest AfD nom I've yet seen - tag it for clean-up or needing refs, sure, but it shouldn't take a genius to know that someone who has won top-level competitions in their sport passes notability. Kingsif (talk) 23:00, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
