 * it would appear that the user has created several such articles; some players as young as 12! For example, see Nazma, Mahmuda Akter and Sheuli Azim. Worth investigating if someone can do so. Spiderone  08:11, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment, Actually those girls brings revolution in Bangladeshi football, as the country is conservative and women are not used to play football. Those girls became champion AFC under 14 south zone for two times. They became group champion in qualification round for AFC under 17 cup and qualify for the main tournament for first time on the merit. For those reason, the girls get wide coverage in national newspaper frequently. Thus the article fulfills the WP:GNG criterion. They get "Significant coverage" in TV and print media, "Reliable" as many of them are national, well-established newspaper, "Sources" as secondary sources, "Independent of the subject". You can find about 95 news results in google search for Krishna Rani in English and about 170 for Bengali search and also about 39 results in country's leading English newspaper The Daily Star (Bangladesh).


 * , Then how does the article fails GNG? In WP:NFOOTY, there is a note that says "Youth players are not notable unless they satisfy one of the statements above, or if they can be shown to meet the wider requirements of WP:GNG." Ibrahim Husain Meraj (talk) 09:48, 28 October 2016 (UTC)


 * The team, as a whole, is notable. The sources provided in the article are more to do with the team rather than Rani as an individual. I don't see how Rani herself meets GNG. Spiderone  10:36, 28 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete - lack of, or complete absence of, coverage from independent, reliable sources on this woman as an individual rather than just part of a successful team, which does warrant an article. Spiderone  10:38, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Passes NFOOTY because of new evidence so now keep Spiderone  16:48, 28 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep - Clear GNG from a simple google search as evidenced by:
 * Krishna's success turning the tide lengthy, dedicated article from national newspaper
 * Under-16 women's team rewarded - further article from same newspaper with significant quotes from player and family
 * Our very own Queen - Dedicate lengthy article / interview from Dhaka Tribune
 * Captain Krishna - further lengthy article on player from Bengali media
 * These are just from the first page of a google search. Additionally there are loads of match reports which can help flesh out this article. To be honest, I'm not sure how these were missed by either and . Simply because someone is a junior footballer does not mean they are inherently non-notable. In instances like these it is even more important to follow WP:BEFORE. Fenix down (talk) 11:30, 28 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep - per Fenix down's argument. Article might fail WP:NFOOTY, but coverage suggest article might pass WP:GNG. Inter&#38;anthro (talk) 14:29, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment The article now can pass the WP:NFOOTY, as she also plays for Bangladesh National Side. in 2014 SAFF Women's Football Championship, in 2016 SA Games, another link of 2016 SA Games, financial express, 2016 dhaka tribune. Ibrahim Husain Meraj (talk) 15:42, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - Meets WP:GNG. WP: NFOOTY rarely applies to the majority of women footballers except for players who play for a senior national team or 3 active "fully professional" leagues (Netherlands, Sweden, U.S.) and is in need of an update. Hmlarson (talk) 03:00, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - meets WP:GNG. GiantSnowman 11:16, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - Although I admit it fails WP:NFOOTY per nom, it passes WP:GNG which overides WP:NFOOTY JohnTombs48 (talk) 17:12, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep, meets WP:GNG, numerous sources available, thanks to for listing some above. Coolabahapple (talk) 22:41, 30 October 2016 (UTC) oops, and  Coolabahapple (talk) 23:06, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
