I am the person who this article about and I wish it to be deleted. annabelclair I understand the article to be created by youths aged under 15 years. The article also contains factual errors and ought to be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Annabelclair (talk • contribs)
 * Delete - Not notable per WP:ATHLETE, and no significant coverage online from WP:Reliable sources. Lone boatman (talk) 10:53, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Oops, I somehow missed the part about her being a rower for NZ in the World Rowing Championships (now linked in the article). If that can be referenced, then she would certainly meet the threshold of notability in WP:ATHLETE. Lone boatman (talk) 15:36, 16 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment: The concerns brought forth by the nominator are editorial matters and not valid reasons to delete the article. I see no glaring BLP issues in the article, but if there is unsourced, factually incorrect information in the article, then the offending content should be removed, not the entire article. As far as I can tell this individual competed in the officially recognized world championship of her sport, which qualifies her for inclusion under WP:ATH. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 15:12, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

 * DELETEthe article contravenes W:BLP . Very limited regard to the subjects privacy or families privacy and no source to back up the source of personal information. regard for the subject's privacy. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid: it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives: the possibility of harm to living subjects must be consideredt. This policy applies to any living person mentioned in a BLP, whether or not that person is the subject of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Annabelclair (talk • contribs) 15 August 2012

 * "Regard for the subject's privacy" does not mean the subject can request deletion because he or she does not want to be represented on Wikipedia. Your username suggests you are the subject of the article. Feel free to remove any information which is "not available publicly"; I don't see anything that obviously fits that definition, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. It looks like some of it may have been removed already, although I'm really not sure what information you considered potentially harmful here. --BDD (talk) 22:07, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I think she fails WP:ATHLETE as she has not participated at an Olympics, there aren't specific Rowing criteria and there isn't really enough in the article to meet GNG. Not sure if competing in the World Championships is enough, or does it have to be the olympics? We may need some rowing topic experts here. Mattlore (talk) 06:41, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. WP:ATHLETE requires that an individual "have participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level such as the Olympics" (emphasis added). I'm pretty sure that competing in the World Rowing Championships is considered "highest level" in this sport. That being said, notability is still borderline at best as far as WP:GNG is concerned, so I think we should be able to take the subject's wishes into account here. I have provided instructions on how to contact the Foundation to verify that she is indeed Annabel Ritchie and not an impostor. If a member of the OTRS team comes here to say that she has done so, then I will switch my !vote to delete. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 16:27, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep As per WP:ATHLETE because she has competed at International Rowing Events. Has sufficient media coverage from reliable sources - her concerns with any inaccuracy could be easily addressed by editing the article. A quick Google search seems to verify the information in the article as it presently stands. There does not seem to be anything that is not already in the public arena.

""Annabelclair"" here - I contacted the details that KuyaBriBri gave me. They said it has to go thru this process to have it deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Annabelclair (talk • contribs) 10:16, 18 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete Marginal notability + subject's wishes pushes this into delete territory. First Light (talk) 01:12, 20 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Marginal Keep I suppose that NealeFamily is correct with his assessment of WP:ATHLETE; I almost wonder if maybe this article and any others on rowers could be merged into a List of notable competitive rowers or something. Go Phightins! (talk) 02:54, 20 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep - Ritchie has competed as a rower at the top level of her sport (World Championships) as confirmed here from the 1999 World Championships. Per WP:BLP, we can remove the unsourced material, and if applicable, Revision deletion might be applicable, but none of those are reasons for deletion of the article. -- Whpq (talk) 20:44, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
