 * Keep. I have found some BBC news coverage of her and added it to the article; I believe this amounts to significant coverage in a reliable source and establishes notability. Gonzonoir (talk) 07:45, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Yeah, it's a stub--but stubs are okay. Sourced, notable.--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:36, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Ladies snooker is an amateur sport unlike the men's game. To what extent is amateur sport notable?  Clearly the Olympics are notable but they are a televised international event.  As the winner of the British Open I would say Catalano is notable if ladies snooker is notable, but ladies snooker is entirely British based, the tournaments are generally unsponsored and the events are not televised and the only coverage of the events seem to come from dedictaed snooker sites.  IBSF tournaments carry a higher profile than ladies events but we don't have articles about IBSF snooker players - the cut-off point for snooker player articles generally are at the professional level.  There are some players like Allison Fisher who have articles about them but she has become a notable pool player in the US, and the current ladies world champion Reanne Evans who has received an invitation to participate in the new Grand Prix next season on the men's circuit.  I would say by the precedent for other snooker articles Catalano does not seem to be notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia, but to be honest I don't really know how the notability of amateur sport is gauged.  If Catalano is notable then there are an awful lot of other players who should be on here. I would suggest addressing the notability of the IBSF divisions really before considering the ladies game.
