Non-notable participant of amateur skiing. No assertion of notability beyond that her amateur club has participated in some events. References are all primary sources. Can find no secondary sources covering her or any news coverage. Creator has been proded several times to provide evidence of notability and has not complied. Fails WP:ATHLETE.

First of all. Rowmark Ski academy is not an amateur ski club. It is prestigious and well known for creating cream of the crop athletes for years. In 5 years, 5 members of Rowmark have qualified for the US ski team. FIS is not an amateur association. Its contenders include; Bode Miller, Benni Raich, Lindsey Vonn and many more world class athletes. USSA and FIS are updated sites that include competitors racing biographies, that include athletes FIS and USSA points, and their updated results thats why there referenced. Skiracing.com is news coverage. It contains updated articles of everything that is going on in the ski world, referencing notablility. I attached several secondary sources of her, including articles from ski racing and anchorage news. Gill is notable because of her outstanding results, being one of the youngest people to qualify for US nationals, and one of America's top racers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Melissagillfan (talk • contribs) 16:46, 13 March 2008 (UTC)Melissagillfan (talk) 16:50, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
