Nancy White (field hockey)

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

Non notable biography of a woman who never played in the Olympics, and is most well known for being the daughter of a Supreme Court Justice. This article can simply be summed up in a few words on Byron White's article. Cheers! Fakescientist8000 20:42, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep. Getting a Congressional Gold Medal seems like an WP:ANYBIO pass to me. Am I missing something? CT55555 (talk) 21:36, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * It does remind me of that time I was named Time Person of the Year. StAnselm (talk) 12:38, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * It usually is not if it is part of a group award, which this was. The CGM can be awarded to individuals, but also to large groups of people as a "blanket award" to recognize their collective accomplishments or contributions. Best, GPL93 (talk) 23:27, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I respect this counter argument. And if getting the medal and the Olympics was the only claim to fame, I think I'd strike my vote. But she's also in a hall of fame, also other encyclopedic content here, this isn't one of those stubs with one line, so I remain keep. CT55555 (talk) 00:47, 26 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep. per CT55555. Plus making the national team for the olympics even if they never went because of the boycott. WCM email 07:47, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete even participanting in the Olympics is not ground for notability, only medaling, so making an Olympic team and not participating is even less grounds for notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:42, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Byron White. The references aren't enough to merit an individual article. Additionally, the Congressional Gold Medal was a blanket award for a group of people and that usually does not indicate individual notability. Best, GPL93 (talk) 23:21, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect per GPL93. Since we have an article on her father we can make any needed mention there. We do not need a separate article on her.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:42, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect. I really thought I would be able to find GNG-meeting coverage here. But I was not. All I found was a paragraph in Stanford: Home of Champions and a brief New York Times article about her wedding . So redirect. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:28, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
