Mónica Hernández

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non notable judoka. Has never competed at a world championship or Olympics, lost her only 2 matches at the Pan-Am Games, and is currently ranked only 67th. She also lacks the significant coverage required by GNG.Mdtemp (talk) 17:27, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Actually she didn't qualify for the Pan-Am games. The results you mentioned are from this year's Pam Am championships (which had only 7 competitors in her division).  It's easy to get those two confused. Papaursa (talk) 02:20, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete I think her inability to qualify for the Pan-Am games, world championships, or Olympics explains her ranking. An article in the local paper is not enough to show she meets WP:GNG. Papaursa (talk) 02:49, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete As above.  Did not compete at the highest level.  The 67th ranking is telling.Peter Rehse (talk) 08:05, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep: passes WP:GNG with significant coverage here, here, and here. Vrac (talk) 15:37, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Per above. And while the Central American and Caribbean Games may be her most important competition to date, it garners significant coverage in the region, as it is the third most important multi-sport event for the participating countries after the Olympics and the Pan American Games. With that said, I would've normally agreed to her deletion had she simply just competed and nothing more, but she obtained a couple of medals. And by the way, she did qualify for the Pan American Games this year in Toronto, but a last minute injury prevented her from attending. It is explained here. Just saying. -- Lancini87 (talk) 21:36, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * How much coverage an event obtains has nothing to do with a particular athlete. Winning medals is nice but again it depends on the value - if all those medal wins got her was a ranking in the 60s they are not that significant.Peter Rehse (talk) 14:58, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Winning medals (even gold ones) at continental championships has been shown to not grant automatic notability (see Articles for deletion/Morteza Rezaei Ghaleh and Articles for deletion/Ruebyn Richards) so winning a medal at regional events is certainly not enough. Local coverage of her participating in events and an article saying she's injured and won't compete do not qualify as significant coverage.Mdtemp (talk) 16:42, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * La Voz de Michoacán and el Cambio de Michoacán are news outlets for a state with a population of about 4.5 million, that's not local coverage. Vrac (talk) 03:21, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Both outlets are based in Morelia which is Hernandez's home town. That seems like the epitome of local coverage. Papaursa (talk) 03:41, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Not at all, Morelia is the capital of Michoacán, of course the major news outlets for the state are based there. And it's not a town, it's a rather large city. Vrac (talk) 03:56, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete Never competed at the highest level which is the starting point for WP:NSPORTS. Also fails WP:MANOTE and WP:GNG since the only coverage is routine sports reporting saying she'll be competing in events that aren't even the highest level. Winning a state award doesn't meet any notability criteria. Jakejr (talk) 04:13, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NSPORTS. Searches provided nothing to suggest otherwise.  Onel 5969  TT me 04:28, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
