Moonika Aava

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Article lacking reliable sources; appears to be a database style entry. Individual seems non-notable, with a search turning up very few non-English news sources, most of which only mention her name a single time and don't appear to be significant coverage. Of what I can find, there is her marginally longer and apparently more thorough Olympics Fandom Wiki page, which claims (though without sources) that her only real achievement is setting the record for best result by an Estonian athlete in women's javelin throwing in Olympic history. Of minor note is that the Fandom page claims she set this record in 2008 rather than 2004, contradicting her Wikipedia page. Of more pertinent note is that if this is the case, Aava would fail WP:BLP1E for her only claim to fame being the achievement of such a specific and obscure sports record and not having seen any WP:SIGCOV since. Page should be either deleted or redirected to a suitable location (an article covering the relevant event at which she achieved the record or something similar). ostensibly singular userpage (inquire within) 17:24, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep. She has an entry at Eesti spordi biograafiline leksikon that confirms she was the 8 times Estonian record holder between 1995 and 2010. She is covered in featured articles in Õhtuleht, which is the largest daily newspaper in Estonia (here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, etc.) She is featured in headlining articles in Postimees, which has the largest circulation and readership in Estonia, (here, here, here, here, here, here, here, etc.) Completely passes WP:SIGCOV. All you had to do was a WP:BEFORE. Someone isn't less notable for inclusion on English Wikipedia because the press is in a language that isn't English. ExRat (talk) 20:31, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, well, I did do a search, it's just I didn't know of those newspapers and Google is apparently garbage. Regardless, I guess I'll speedy close the discussion and tag the page for improvement. ostensibly singular userpage (inquire within) 21:04, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
