 * Keep. Soto is now a highly visible presence on the NFL Network. There is lots of stuff out there about her.  Much of it is of the WP:HOTTIE variety, some of which might qualify as WP:RS, but even leaving that sort of thing aside for the moment, I think there's enough more "serious" material to establish her notability. Sources about her work as a journalist include:


 * "FSN Reporter Soto Always On the Go", Los Angeles Daily News, February 18, 2005
 * "Nothing Prepared Soto for Tragedy", Los Angeles Times, April 15, 2005
 * "Soto Stays True to Her Roots", Los Angeles Times, September 23, 2005
 * "Soto learning to geek it as a fantasy follower", Los Angeles Daily News, September 8, 2011 (also posted here)
 * 2004 Variety article verifying her local Emmy
 * Photo at LIFE.com of Soto accepting her 2010 Genii Award from American Women in Radio and Television (now called Alliance for Women in Media).


 * There seem to be other potential sources behind paywalls, such as "Lindsay Soto rides the Olympics' emotional rollercoaster"  and "Spotting Soto" in the Los Angeles Daily News; "Soto at home on sidelines" in the Long Beach Press-Telegram. I appreciate Eagles247's concern about COI, but as written the article seems to stick to facts and I don't see anything unduly promotional; of course, anything inappropriate can and should be edited out (and the article does need to be updated).  On balance, I think she has enough of a public identity now that notability is established and users of the encyclopedia would reasonably expect to find information about her. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:42, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
