This player is not notable by project standards; she has no Fed Cup or WTA main draw appearances, has not won any ITF tournaments above the $25,000 category, had no remarkable junior career (neither a Grand Slam champion nor ranked within the world's top 3), and there are no further claims that she is otherwise, at present, generally notable.

 * Delete Looks like a big delete to me. Just a tiny little blip in a sea of minor league players. Fyunck(click) (talk) 23:20, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete or userfy: Looks like a puff piece.  If she was on the Olympic team or competed in international events, I'd change my position on this.  Can anyone locate evidence of international competition?   Montanabw (talk)  21:59, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
 * The main international teams for female tennis are Olympics, Fed Cup and Hopman Cup. She has played in none of the above and all the events that have recently been listed in the article are children's competitions for under18 and under16 players. She not notable for anything Tennis project related, so it's strictly if she meets wikipedia GNG. It's possible since there aren't a lot of tennis players from Nigeria and she has a Russian background. This may need to be userfied in the creator's space in case she does become notable.
