The result was Keep. The consensus appears to be that the subject meets the current form of WP:BIO. Non-admin close. Xymmax (talk) 05:44, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

This is a non-notable person. Google search returns nothing, and the article is both orphaned and unreferenced. Ohmpandya  ( Talk )  17:12, 12 January 2008 (UTC)  Ohmpandya   ( Talk )  17:12, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep see page 16 in this document which records results from the 1976 Olympics and confirms the facts stated in the article. Being a member of a national team and competing at the Olympics qualifies her under the guidelines for atheletes. Sourcing is I grant a problem, however, as her time of prominence was 1976 and as she is Romanian I don't think we should read too much in to the fact that web sources in English are scant. nancy   (talk) 20:32, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I have added the reference to the article.  nancy   (talk) 13:57, 13 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment People !voting might be interested in reading/commenting here. No !vote for me. Cheers, CP 00:32, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Or people might be interested in reading here to see that it is unnecessary to vote. The decision does not depend on the majority. No vote. Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 01:57, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete As shown in the discussions above, this article does not pass notabilty requirements. The article is currently completely unreferenced and is only a few sentences long.  Although your reference somewhat verifies the content, is is an extremely trivial reference being simply a passing mention.  No notability is guaranteed.   Reywas92 Talk  02:24, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * That the article is short is no criteria to delete - it is a stub and can be expanded. It also has a reference now.  nancy   (talk) 17:36, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Per Doma-w, Mikloş is not another James Barker, about whose accomplishments little is known. She scored 14 of her team's 73 goals. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:28, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - athlete on a team that came fourth in the Olympic Games easily passes WP:BIO ("highest level of amateur sport"). Place on the team confirmed in the listing in David Wallechinsky's books. - fchd (talk) 09:20, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * However, more is needed than just participating. Read WP:BIO.  She needs non-trivial references.  She definitely does not easilty pass yet.   Reywas92 Talk  17:28, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, without any question she's notable. It could be expanded, but surely we could seek to get sources from a Romanian editor.  Nyttend (talk) 13:53, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Question Why are deletion tools necessary here? She's a verifiable Olympian. We could bicker about the merits of an individual biography, but we should at least merge this information somewhere. Zagalejo^^^ 20:50, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, I don't necessarily support including all Olympians from all Olympics, but a fourth place is definitely notable. Punkmorten (talk) 22:34, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
