Nadezhda Kolesnikova (handballer)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

My primary concern is that the subject does not meet WP:GNG at this moment in time. In my search, the only sources I could find were ones of the calibre of this one, which does little to establish notability. I have also looked through every news story here and found no detailed coverage of her as an individual either. Invariably, she is just mentioned as part of a group of players. There is a lack of a focus on her specifically.

Players could get presumed notability through WP:SPORTCRIT if they have played in a major international competition at the highest level, but Kolesnikova hasn't played in the European Championship, nor the World Championship nor the Olympics. There is no evidence that she is a significantly notable figure within handball. Maybe she will rise to that level in a few years but she also might not.
