 * Hello, this person is indeed notable to many young girls in India. How many young girls from India. Powerlifting is not as notable as sports like basketball, football, baseball. but indeed it's still a sport. Nami is not just a notable person but an extraordinary person in the eyes of young women in India. She is excelling in a sport that is usually dominated by men. Young girls in India inspire to be like her. Most of her write ups are in city newspapers and other sources such as instagram and facebook. This isn't because of her lack of notability but because powerlifting as a sport is neglected in the media. India focus is mainly on cricket other sports don'ty get the recognition they should. Name has done incredible things physically and in the unseen hearts of thousands of little girls in media she has shown them you don't have to be weak and insecure but you can be strong. She has shown them that deadlifting 300lbs isn't just a thing a guy can do but a girl can do too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anthonytownley333 (talk • contribs) 18:10, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia measures "notability" by the amount of coverage in reliable sources a person/subject has received. When I look, I see this source, which looks quite good, and I see where it's been copied, but we'd probably need more than that. If you know of additional sources, the best thing you can do to argue for keeping would be to link to those sources here. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 02:30, 24 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete insufficiant relialbe, 3rd party secondary sources to show notability. Of course that applies to hundreds of actor and actress articles but I digress.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:11, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Why delete it, it does no good to the of motivating young women powerlifting in India, this may seem like a small decision but let it be known this could be costly to the next generation of women powerlifters in India :/  Anthonytownley333 (talk) 18:48, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, as a tertiary source, Wikipedia is ultimately constrained by what reliable sources decide to write about. Giving that judgment to other sources is part of how we try to approach subjects neutrally. There are many inspiring, talented, important people who unfortunately have not yet been recognized by other papers, magazines, books, websites, etc. so they don't satisfy our notability requirements. These rules do contribute to systemic bias on Wikipedia. Even within sports, it is not even; nearly all professional footballers are considered notable, but most smaller sports are not (because footballers get more press coverage). It's disappointing sometimes... &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 21:43, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I will note that I have not argued that it should be deleted; I just don't see enough for me to support keeping, either. If there were another really good source that would be enough for me, but I just don't see it. :/ &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 21:45, 25 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete Subject has insufficient coverage by third party sources. Also did not compete in athletics at a notable level. SFB 22:30, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
