Fails to meet cricket notability guidelines of having played one major cricket match. Jpeeling (talk) 18:26, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Though not explicitly covered by the Cricket WP guidelines, my own opinion is that playing for the Hong Kong national women's team ought to be enough to make her notable. That's even more the case if she is truly the youngest person ever to play for a country's full national side. JH (talk page) 10:28, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:ATHLETE. I believe that trumps WP:CRIN. flaminglawyerc 17:52, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I've brought this up at WP:Cricket, as it is my opinion that anyone to have represented his or her country (at senior level) in a major world sport is notable. However, this article needs at least one more reference, especially for the claim of being the youngest to play for Hong Kong (which I do know through my own research is accurate) before I can change my vote to keep.

 * Keep. At first I was a bit concerned about whether the subject had actually played at senior level, because the Cricinfo profile only links to an under 19 match, but the scorecards linked from here confirm that she has played at the highest amateur level of her sport (to quote from WP:ATHLETE). Cricinfo is a cast-iron reliable source so there's no need for any further sources to verify this, but here's one for the wikilawyers. There's also absolutely no need for her to be the youngest player to play for Hong Kong to be notable, and the article doesn't even claim that ("...one of the...").
