 * Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 14:28, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - She has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:12, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - per WP:BASIC. Article could use expansion, not deletion per WP:ATD. A few sample references to start:
 * "Unrelenting passion", The Daily Star
 * "Meet our Supergirls", Dhaka Tribune Hmlarson (talk) 05:45, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
 * This can't be considered as significant coverage. These articles are about the team as a whole and do not focus on Ruksana. The team is notable for their collective achievements but there is nothing here to suggest independent notability for Ruksana. Spiderone  19:43, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
 * The first news link (which is a major English newspaper in Bangladesh) wrote about Ruksana, Hailing from Sylhet, Ruksana was another of the national team's players that say they had faced no obstacles due to the path they had chosen. A student at the Charighata High School, she was mentored by Amanur Rashid, a teacher at the school. She got her start in a 2011 tournament, and was inspired by everyone around her, including her parents, her teachers and even the village folks. The turning point in her career came in the 2015 National Championships where she played for Bangladesh Ansar. She hopes that she can hold on to her spot in the team. These articles are about the team as a whole and also focus on players individually. Ibrahim Husain Meraj (talk) 16:34, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Nothing in that passage screams out at me as meaning that she needs to have her own article. That's the bottom line. Spiderone  22:06, 19 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Per this recent AfD, there is already consensus that this player is not notable. The two references cited above are insufficient for WP:BASIC as they are basically the only sources that mention the player in any form other than in a squad listing or team line up.
