Prod removed by an IP with no comment, no changes to article, and virtually no other edit history. As I said in the Prod, playing on a university team is not notable, being the first non-American to score for a particular college team is not notable (and the cited source does not support this), and having played all of one international senior and one international junior game is not notable. Only sources in article are the university team's webpage. No significant coverage of her found in other sources. Fails WP:NCOLLATH. Fails WP:GNG. Meters (talk) 01:33, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:NCOLLATH. Though the fact that East Carolina is recruiting non-Americans is actually pretty interesting, but that doesn't have anything to do with notability. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:55, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Actually that fact is notable enough to warrant an article. See Wikipedia policies.--Izudrunkizuhadenough (talk) 03:00, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

 * No offense to the Pirates, but while their fans may be rabid they are at best a regional collegiate sports power, and women's soccer isn't exactly a huge sport there. If we were talking about the first internationally recruited quarterback at Ohio State, I would be much more open to discussing whether that made them notable (and it probably would because I'm guessing there would be significant coverage in many major national publications.) I'm just not convinced in this case. TonyBallioni (talk) 01:38, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually, no Wikipedia policy makes that a notable fact in and of itself, if reliable source coverage isn't there to get her over WP:GNG for it. Bearcat (talk) 15:13, 26 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete - All arguments made above check out. Non-notable in general, and fails WP:NCOLLATH in specific. Fieari (talk) 04:46, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - Fails WP:NCOLLATH and WP:GNG. Even if she did play against, I find no evidence that it was with , so she also does not meet WP:NFOOTY. — Jkudlick • t • c • s 02:21, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Good point. Canada Soccer shows that Canada's full women's team has not played Nigeria in a Tier 1 match since 2011 (Dresden, GER FIFA Women's World Cup). Since Conte is in first year university she is too young to have played on that team. The Canadian U17 team played Nigeria in 2012 (FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup) but even if she were on that team I don't think it would qualify. The Canadian U20 team has not played Nigeria since 2006. http://canadasoccer.com/index.php?t=schedule&genderId=0&seasonKeyword=&tid=all&opponentTeamKeyword=Nigeria&venueKeyword=&month=0&year=All Meters (talk) 02:53, 26 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete, does not meet WP:GNG, a gsearch brings up a couple of non useable pages like facebook, twitter, did find this - Vaughan's Megan Conte awarded full Division One scholarship , but its not enough. Coolabahapple (talk) 03:07, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 07:01, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Being the first non-American member of a college-level sports team ever to score a goal for her team is not, in and of itself, a reason why a person gets permanent coverage in an encyclopedia — and that's especially true when the only reference for that claim is the team's own self-published website about itself. Had she gotten media coverage for the distinction, then there might be a valid WP:GNG claim depending on how much coverage there was about it, but even then it would still quite possibly just make her a WP:BLP1E if there wasn't also significant media coverage about her beyond that context alone. And WP:NCOLLATH does not support an automatic notability freebie for international recruits just because they're international students and not American citizens, either.

 * Delete fails WP:GNGRniterjr (talk) 18:22, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league. No indication of any collage award to satisfy NCOLLATH. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy either NHSPHSATH or wider GNG. Fenix down (talk) 08:00, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
