Fails the notability guideline for sports and athletics. Blogs such as http://theracquetballblog.blogspot.ca/ are not reliable sources. GeoffreyT2000 ( talk,  contribs ) 17:01, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
 * No, she doesn't. Key has represented her country in her sport of racquetball at major international competitions, such as the Pan American Games and Racquetball World Championships. If you use the WP:NTENNIS notability criteria as a guideline, then that's sufficient for notability. If Key isn't notable, then what should criteria be? If you want to quibble on reference to a blog as a source, well, OK, although is that because of its name or some other reason? That is, if it was on a stand alone website - something like TheRacqueballJournal dot com - rather than on Blogger, would that be more acceptable? Trb333 (talk) 17:35, 23 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete a non-notable raquetball competitor. Blogs can not be sued to establish notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:50, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep I've changed the references to the official draws from the International Racquetball Federation and USA Racquetball websites. Again, I don't think notability is being addressed here so much as the perceived quality of the referenced source material. Trb333 (talk) 19:02, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep: Sources could use better formatting (because used VE to format), but there is a pretty sizable number of sources that reference her from newspapers in the USA, Canada, Mexico, and other Spanish speaking countries. While these references may not be substantial on their own, they probably total over 30.  Then you have a few sources that are more substantially about her a lot including . Less substantial mentions include, , , , , , , , , , , , ,  I added a few to the article, but it needs more of a rewrite to improve it.  The organization is a bit meh. --LauraHale (talk) 19:00, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:SPORTCRIT and WP:GNG. Article could use clean up, not deletion per WP:ATD. Hmlarson (talk) 03:20, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
