I could wrong about this since WP:ATHLETE is extremely liberal, but what makes someone a "Pro Figure athlete"? In comparison to Monica Brant for instance, who has a long list of participation in professional events (one of which she won), Nordin's page doesn't even list one such competition. I doubt that being on the cover on Iron Man Magazine is the fitness equivalent of being a Playboy Playmate, which would be a criteria analogous to WP:PORNBIO&mdash;"figure" seems to be about looks. But I could be wrong not knowing much about this area. Pcap ping  12:57, 16 December 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Tim Song (talk) 09:09, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. I don't think she was supposed to be a (pro)(figure athlete), but rather a (Pro Figure)(athlete), where "Pro Figure" is some sort of pageant/competition.  In her favor, she gets a decent number of Google hits, has some coverage in the muscle blogs, and her Wikipedia article isn't the #1 Google result, which is so often an indicator of fake notability.  However, I really can't find much of anything in reliable sources, and no indication she meets [[WP:ATHLETE], WP:BIO, or WP:GNG.  --Glenfarclas (talk) 16:48, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Based on her blog (her other site is dead) she seems to be professional fitness model, meaning she shoots for fitness magazines, seels stuff under her personal brand etc., although in this line of buisness it's a tad difficult to separate the athletic "persona" from the entertainer/model "persona". But I suspect she fails WP:ENTERTAINER too as a model, since the wiki standard there is rather high. Someone knowledgeable in fitness magazines, who I'm sure would enjoy perusing her blog too, could perhaps take a look. Pcap ping  19:16, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
