Fails WP:GNG. Secondary source significant coverage not found. Only sigcov is from the Harvard Crimson, a primary source as it's the school's official student newspaper. This is also primary. Paul Vaurie (talk) 18:04, 14 August 2023 (UTC) Relisting comment: Article has been greatly expanded since its AFD nomination, looking for editors to assess whether changes are enough to establish notability. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 19:29, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment - her involvement in Shark Tank does not add to her notability, as it is not what she is known for. Her notability as footballer is being tested; she is not notable for being a Shark Tank contestant. Paul Vaurie (talk) 03:52, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
 * That's incorrect. The notability of the biography is being tested. If she's notable as a scientist, or an entrepreneur, or just as a person, then the page should be kept. pburka (talk) 04:03, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
 * She’s not notable for being a player, and she is not notable for being on Shark Tank. If you add the two together that doesn’t magically make her more notable. She is non-notable for both. It’s barely even known that the two names are the same person, as I could only find confirmation of that on her LinkedIn profile, which says she played as a professional athlete.

 * I think she has a better claim to notability as an entrepreneur and scientist (via WP:GNG) than as an athlete. Her business is, I believe, what she's best known for. I'm not convinced there's enough significant coverage, though. Maybe if we had an article about her company this could be a redirect to that. pburka (talk) 20:23, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
 * She was covered by both FastCompany and TechCrunch as an entrepreneur - these are now added as sources. 23.93.98.68 (talk) 20:16, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
 * And Wired Magazine 23.93.98.68 (talk) 20:26, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete. She is not notable for her football career, and the coverage of her company is exactly that--coverage of her company (and usually just her talking about it). Sources 1–3 & 6 (Daily Pennsylvanian, Soccer America, NYT, WaPo): passing mentions ❌. 4 (CNBC): just repeats what she says ❌. 5 (StatsCrew): stats ❌. 7–9 (Harvard Crimson x2, Harvard Magazine): non-independent ❌. 10, 11 (TechCrunch and Fast Company): biog content almost entirely quotes from her ❌. 12 (Wired): passing mention + quote ❌. 13 (SF Chron): can't access.
