Fails WP:NTRACK Sulfurboy (talk) 21:48, 28 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Weak keep: She did place 1st in discus in the 2013 Islamic Solidarity Games. To me, this would qualify under point 3, "Finished top 3 in any other major senior level international competition (this includes... less prestigious large scale meets, e.g. Asian Games)." I guess it boils down to whether the Islamic Solidarity Games are as prestigious as the Asian Games, and I am not enough of a sports expert to know that. But it seems very similar, so I would say she passes, though barely. ubiquity (talk) 22:00, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment So how can you say it qualifies under point thre if you don't know whether that game is prestigious or not? Sulfurboy (talk) 10:25, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment I think it's very safe to say it's nowhere near as prestigious as the Asian games. I can't even find a source to confirm the claim that this person won first. The only place that says it is the wiki page, but the source there for the results is a dead link. I assume if it was a large scale prestigious meet, that we should be able to find a source to confirm the claim along with how many people were in the event which will give us a relative scale.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment If the concern about the notability is only due to lack of a reference for her achievement at the Islamic Games, then I've added two refs now. Pls recheck. --CeeGee 06:28, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment The point is that the event is likely not a largely notable international event, esp. considering it seems to be restricted by religion. Sulfurboy (talk) 10:25, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep passes WP:NTRACK # 3. It's not a question of prestige, which is probably much bigger in Islamic countries than in the rest of the World. The guideline says "any other major senior level international competition (this includes prestigious small field meets...[and] less prestigious large scale meets...not explicitly mentioned above)". The "above" refers to #2 where it requires "several heats or extended fields". A championship attended by 44 nations can be considered a major senior level competition, and may be categorized in the "less prestigious" variety, but it still clearly passes the guideline. And the subject won the gold medal, not just competed. Kraxler (talk) 18:49, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
