Greer Barnes (soccer)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Former professional soccer player who played a total of 270 minutes of gametime. I am unable to find sufficient in-depth coverage from third-party sources, failing WP:GNG. This and this is not enough, and I believe this local piece fails WP:YOUNGATH. JTtheOG (talk) 01:29, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 09:34, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: In addition to the sources found above, there is also significant coverage here, here, and here excluding the overwhelming amount of lesser WP:ROUTINE mentions from major publications like NY Times, LA Times, ESPN, etc. GauchoDude (talk) 15:58, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per sources provided by GauchoDude, enough to meet WP:GNG. S.A. Julio (talk) 20:12, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete - Article fails WP:GNG. The Dominion Post articles are local coverage (WVU is located in Morgantown) similar to any collegiate athlete (I don't think her Big East conference season awards are significant enough to bypass the GNG). The Queens Chronicle article leans heavily on an interview with the subject's grandmother and reads like a fluff piece. I just don't see any secondary coverage on Barnes that is in-depth and not routine. Jogurney (talk) 17:00, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. The Queens Chronicle source is one hyper-local-interest piece with only ~4 sentences of possibly encyclopedic info that don't come from the subject/her grandmother. The two Old Dominion articles are hyper-local news by a WVU alumnus (who even funds a scholarship there), so their coverage of WVU-related topics such as WVU players is not sufficiently independent. Where is the evidence Barnes has been covered significantly outside her local community? JoelleJay (talk) 23:25, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
