WP:BLP of a tennis player, smalltown city councillor and as yet non-winning candidate in a future election, not properly sourced as clearing our notability criteria for either sportspeople or politicians. WP:NTENNIS requires a person to get seeded in the main draw at Wimbledon or the French or US Opens, not just to compete in the preliminaries and fail to advance past #228, while WP:NPOL does not extend notability to either non-winning candidates or non-metropolitan city councillors: a federal election candidate has to win the seat, not just run for it, to become notable on that basis, and a city councillor is only notable if you can show a depth and range and volume of coverage that clearly marks her out as a special case of significantly greater notability than most other city councillors. But the referencing here is entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability at all, and nothing stated in the article body is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to clear WP:GNG on the sources. As well, it warrants mention that the article was created by a virtual WP:SPA who seems to be almost exclusively interested in creating premature articles about as yet unelected Conservative Party of Canada candidates. As always, no prejudice against recreation on or after October 20 if she wins — but neither the sourcing nor the substance here constitutes reasons why she would already be eligible to have an article today.

 * Keep passes NTENNIS as she competed in the main draw of 6 Grand Slam events in Doubles. There is no requirement for players to be seeded to pass the SNG. Iffy★Chat -- 09:08, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets WP:NTENNIS as mentioned above, as she has competed in several WTA events, including six grand slams. Smartyllama (talk) 12:55, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable enough as a tennis player. Kevinhanit (talk) 00:21, 13 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep She did appear in 6 Grand Slam doubles events, although she never won a match there. A top doubles ranking of #228 wouldn't seem to be encyclopedic, but she does meet WP:NTENNIS. Papaursa (talk) 19:52, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
