Maddie Karr

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:GYMNAST MATThematical (talk) 23:21, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

She won the Liukin cup which is not an international competition (it is a level 10 competition which does not satisfy gymnastics notability). The only coverage I see on her is from a local paper, but using Maddie Karr instead of her full first name did reveal a mention in a piece from universal sports. I do feel this piece is WP:Routine as it only talks about her for a few sentences and strictly related to her performance in this event. MATThematical (talk) 23:26, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Delete - Lacks the coverage needed to meet WP:GNG, nor has she done anything to meet WP:NGYMNAST. She is listed as a junior by her national governing body.  A search at FIG, the international governing body does not show an international license so it is unlikely that she has competed beyond the junior USA national level. -- Whpq (talk) 14:47, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Clarification: There is no question that she has received coverage from major sources normally used to satisfy WP:GNG. NBC Universal Sports [|article even includes several quotes about her training]  (edit: but is authored by "By Jo-Ann Barnas/USA Gymnastics" not an independent journalist and as talk points out below is actually "From USA Gymnastics Press Release"). In my opinion this coverage is WP:ROUTINE anyways but I could see others possibly disagreeing with that. It would be nice to get feedback from people at the WP:GYMNASTICS project, to see if there is any independent coverage we are missing. MATThematical (talk) 15:53, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Stricken second !vote. You nominated the article for deletion, and your nomination is taken as a !vote to delete.  As for the article, have a closer look at the credit, it's credited as "From USA Gymnastics Press Release".  -- Whpq (talk) 17:15, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
