Maeve Liston

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Doesn't appear to be notable per any of the Rugby sub-notability guidelines as there's no evidence she's ever played for Bristol Ladies (and playing for them may not be notable in itself, as they don't appear to be a professional side even after September 2017). Regardless of that, doesn't pass GNG, all the references are trivial. Black Kite (talk) 22:16, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep as the sources do cover GNG. There is more than sufficient non-trivial sources about her. Indeed sources 1, 7 and 11 are all about her.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 21:29, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh dear. None of those sources even remotely approach GNG. #1 is a two-line sporting report saying she'll play this weekend. #7 is an interview with a student website at the university she's a student at. #11 actually backs up her non-notability, being a computer generated page saying that she's never played for that side. WP:GNG requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". I am astounded that a competent editor is even claiming this.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete nothing approaching passing the GNG. Even if there was, for someone notable for being a rugby player and nothing else, the controlling standard is the notability guidelines for Rugby players which are even more clearly not met.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:26, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  MBisanz  talk 02:32, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - I won't base my rationale on GNG because Black Kite has already sufficiently explained why the subject fails it in their nom statement and further comment. I checked Liston against the notability guidelines for rugby players: sorry but she falls short of every point listed.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 05:59, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - does not meet WP:NSPORT per above. -Zanhe (talk) 21:19, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
