Player fails WP:BIO, specifically WP:ATHLETE having not played at required level, and fails WP:GNG as any coverage is of routine nature such as club profiles and passing mentions in match reports Club Oranje T 10:12, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

 * DO NOT DELETE Although women footballers are not as well known as men, it doesn't mean that they are any less good at the sport. This female plays for a team that, until last season, were in the premiership equivalent of women's football and she is therefore of higher notiability than certain wiki'ed male players such as: Arron Fray, Kalvin Morath-Gibbs and Brett Darby.

Wikipedia should be aiming to lead the forefront in promoting women's football, and increasing articles on up and coming female players is one of the best ways to achieve this. Deleting this article is against the modern way of wiki.

Peejay's claim is is unfounded to say the least. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JVinners (talk • contribs) 19:49, 15 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment It is not Wikipedia's function to promote women's football. Any person is required to meet notability thresholds to have an article. Requirements are same regardless of sex race age or religion.-- Club Oranje T 00:11, 16 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete this player has never played at a professional level. – PeeJay 11:57, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Player fails WP:ATHLETE and WP:GNG. It looks to me like a case of an IP removing a PROD simply because they can. Sir Sputnik (talk) 14:25, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - I could not find any reliable sources covering this athlete in any detail. She doesn't appear to satisfy WP:ATHLETE either. Jogurney (talk) 14:54, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Player succeeds WP:ATHLETE, "People who have competed at the fully professional level of a sport", the highest level of female football —Preceding unsigned comment added by JVinners (talk • contribs) 09:05, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
 * The highest level of women's football is not fully professional -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:50, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
 * ... in England. North American Women's Professional Soccer League is fully professional.-- Club Oranje T 23:56, 17 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. I think women footballers would satisfy WP:ATHLETE without playing in a professional league if they played at the highest level internationally (eg FIFA Women's World Cup), but the player in this case hasn't done that. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 07:47, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
