Jette Fuglsang

 * From January 2009, she was semi-professional at the brand new Danish team, Team High End Sport yhere running international UCI races in category 1.1 to 2.2.--Pusleogpixi (talk) 21:50, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Not Notable. A Danish shopworker and amateur competitive cyclist who won a few local competitions and died in a road accident. Horatio Guy (talk) 01:20, 16 July 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:13, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I guess that if the statement "In the years 2007 and 2008 she was the most winning Danish female cyclist" used in the article could be sourced that could make a cause for notability. Up to the creator of the article, I guess. McMarcoP (talk) 14:46, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Being the creator, I have added sources for the statistics information on Ms. Fuglsang for 2007 and 2008. The fact that she was a shopkeeper as well as a competitive cyclist only shows that even for a highly talented female cyclist, in Denmark you will not be able to live full time by your sport. I suppose you could say that she was semi-proffessional. Danish leading newspaper Politiken claims her to be close to the Danish national team (in Danish): "Jette Fuglsang (...) tilhørte den absolutte elite blandt kvindelige danske cykelryttere, og hun var meget tæt på at komme med til De Olympiske Lege i Beijing sidste år." (in English) "Jette Fuglsang (...) belonged to the absolute elite of Danish female cycle athlets and she was very close to being picked for participation at the Olympic Games in Beijing last year." --Amjaabc (talk) 22:38, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't see that being close to being picked for the national team, but not being picked, amounts to notability. Even if she had been picked for the national team, that wouldn't in itself necessarily constitute notability.Horatio Guy (talk) 03:22, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete: Well ... to answer Horatio above, being picked for the national team does constitute notability: it's a prima facie pass on WP:ATHLETE. That being said, if she didn't compete internationally, that's not the "highest level" of the sport.  That she might not have been financially able to do so may have been regrettable, but doesn't constitute a waiver of the notability criteria.    RGTraynor  10:24, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
