No indication of notability - 19th is hardly a significant world cup ranking. No WP:SIGCOV located on a search. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 20:27, 22 August 2022 (UTC) Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Notability (people) says: People are presumed if they have received significant coverage in   that are,  of each other, and.   The article notes: "Banned kegler Melody Yeung dealt the Hongkong Ten-ping Bowling Congress (HKTBC) a slap in the face when she won the AMF World Cup selection competition at Kwai Fong Bowling Centre yesterday. The HKTBC banned Yeung and fellow national team member Norideen Kitchell from all international competitions, so it is unlikely that the Asian Amateur Championships' gold medalist will be flying Hongkong's flag in the finals in Mexico. ... Yeung was banned until the end of next year for accepting a television station's interview without informing HKTBC officials ... Yesterday, Yeung again proved she is the best woman bowler in the territory with a nine-game score of 1,862, including a 120 points bonus, to earn the top seed position for the step-ladder final."   The article notes in a photo caption: "Melody Yeung on her way to retaining her women's title in the San Miguel Hongkong Open yesterday, where she beat second seed Carmen Tang." The article notes: "In the women's final, Melody Yeung demonstrated her current dominance of the sport by successfully defending her title. Yeung who earlier in the month came sixth in the World Cup in Kuala Lumpur, saw off second-seeded Carmen Tang in the final by 215 pins to 205. ... but Yeung, who had scored an impressive 2,263 total after six rounds, kept her form to lift the coveted trophy."   The article notes: "But she has yet to confront Melody Yeung, who together with Che is considered Hongkong's two most outstanding woman bowlers."   The article notes: "Hongkong's top woman player Melody Yeung, who captured a gold medal at the Asian tournament, was suspended until the end of 1989 for accepting media interviews without official consent following her singles victory. ... But Yeung and Cheung are not as lucky because they have been told that they cannot bowl at the Singapore International Open Championships or the Star Open in Bangkok this month. Yeung was scheduled to play in both tournaments ... The two, however, have indicated they will go ahead with their trips, although they cannot bowl."   The article notes: "Melody Yeung Ka-ling yesterday kept alive Hong Kong's hopes of winning a medal at tenpin bowling when she finished in fourth place at the end of the first eight games of the women's Masters competition. ... Melody is the only Hong Kong competitor in the women's event to qualify for the Masters, by virtue of finishing among the top 16 bowlers after the total scores of each bowler in the singles, doubles, trios and fives had been added up. In other words, consistency is what matters, and so far Melody has been consistent, even if she has nothing to show for her efforts."   The article notes: "Top international Melody Yeung is set to take her battle with the Hongkong Tenpin Bowling Congress (HKTBC) into the courtroom. The HKTBC on Sunday handed Yeung a 16-month ban from international competition for accepting media interviews without official consent during the FIQ Asian Amateur Championships in Hongkong last month."  <li> The article notes: "Hongkong's Melody Yeung performed superbly in first-day action at the women's World Cup tenpin bowling championship in Kuala Lumpur yesterday. The 26-year-old sales clerk defied the hot conditions to end the day in second place after six games, just 35 pins behind unfancied Singaporean Narisa Prateep. Yeung claimed 1,132 pins in her six games and was well satisfied with her display. The Hongkong bowler said she found the conditions in the alley extremely hot." </li> <li> The article notes: "Hongkong's Melody Yeung, who was the leader after the first round, failed in her bid for a medal when she finished sixth in the World Cup tenpin bowling final in Kuala Lumpur yesterday. Yeung missed the cut-off by just three points to end with 1,440. The Hongkong girl was prominent at all stages of the competition at all stages of the competition but failed by a whisker at the last gasp." </li> <li> The article notes: "Hongkong's Melody Yeung slipped two places to fourth at the women's World Cup tenpin bowling championships in Kuala Lumpur yesterday. The 26-year-old Yeung finished the day's play with 2,207 pins and dropped two places from her first-day finish, but is still in a strong position with the final six games to be played today." </li> <li> The article notes: "Melody Yeung outshone the men on her way to the women's Masters title at the SCAA Annual Championships yesterday, completing the 16-game rolloff with a creditable 203 average. Yeung was unchallenged in the first phase of the competition, topping the chart with an eight-game total of 1,597 and beating Asian Games gold medallist Cat Che into second place by 65 pins." </li> <li> The article notes: "Hong Kong Tenpin bowler Melody Yeung Ka-ling's title bid in the Women's Masters Cup at the Asian Tour (Hong Kong) tournament ended when she lost 213–199 to Chinese-Taipei's Wu Yu-ling in the semi-finals at the Mei Foo Super Fun Bowl. Yeung, who retired from the Hong Kong team a few years ago, was the only SAR bowler to make it into the top-14 Masters event." </li> <li> The article is about Bowling at the Asian Games in 1994. The article notes: "Fung was delighted with Hong Kong's performance last week with Franco Lau narrowly pipped for the gold medal in the men's Masters and Melody Yeung winning gold in the women's event with Cat Che finishing third." </li> <li> The article notes: "Four of Hong Kong's top ten-pin bowlers were injured when their taxi was involved in a head-on collision outside the AIA Building in Stubbs Road yesterday. Angela Lau, Melody Yeung and Cookie Lee, who are Hong Hong's three national representatives and Semon Cheung, who is in the national pool and the daughter of Hong Kong's gold medallist Catherine Che, were taken to the Tang Shiu Kin Hospital. Ms Lau, who suffered head injuries, Ms Yeung who lost a lower front tooth, and Ms Lee who was bruised, were treated and discharged." </li> <li> The article notes: "Despite a brave attempt by Melody Yeung Ka-ling, the Hong Kong's tenpin bowlers will return home empty-handed. Melody, the only local woman in the last event, the masters, finished in sixth place and thus failed to qualify for the finals. Only the top three bowlers out of a field of 16 qualify for the masters final. Melody totalled 2,992 after 15 games. But that was not good enough to get her into the last three, as she was 61 pins off third-placed Irene Garcia of the Philippines." </li> <li> The article notes: "Backing Che in the women's team are twice World Cup player Melody Yeung, Anna Tong, Judy Lo, Sandy Fong and Carmen Tang. Yeung, who also performed at the Asian Games, should be the bowler to watch as she topped the Hongkong team's selection trials and only narrowly missed the cut for the step ladder final at the Hongkong Open." The image caption notes, "Hongkong's Melody Yeung, tipped to perform well at next month's FIQ Asian Zone Championships." </li> <li> The article notes: "Hongkong's Melody Yeung improved on her eighth position to finish fourth yesterday and qualify for the semi-finals of the women's World Cup in Kuala Lumpur." </li> <li> The article notes: "Melody Yeung, Hongkong's hottest woman bowler, is expected to make a bid to rejoin the national party in which she was a member last year. She did not take part in the selection for the 1987 squad but has vowed to make a return because it will give her an opportunity to win a ticket to the Olympic Games." </li> <li></li> <li></li> </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Melody Yeung to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

 * keep, assuming good faith in 's reproduction of the sources at hand (I can't access them). I would want to see some coverage from outside the South China Morning Post, but the fact that they're sometimes reprinting from Agence-France Presse is good enough. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 05:24, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
