Fails WP:NSPORTS. Nothing beyond trivial mentions on the subject's appearance at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 03:06, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Self delete per nom. I created biographies like these in my early career in 2017 without much knowledge on WP:GNG. I joined Wikipedia in February 2017 and created this article on 31 October 2017. So I was not technically good at that time with policies and guidelines. Now I am fluent with the policies and it was mistake at that time to have created this buography.

 * Comment - she did make the top 8 in the Commonwealth Games - according to criteria #2 of WP:NATH an athlete is presumed notable if they- "finished top 8 in a competition at the highest level outside of the Olympic games and world championships. Individual events in these championships must contain either several heats or extended fields (e.g. European Athletics Championships, Commonwealth Games, or any of the 6 World Major Marathons)." The only aspect that isn't clear is how large the field in the Women's +78kg class actually was. Dan arndt (talk) 05:47, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete There were only eight athletes in her Commonwealth Games competition, and in any case WP:NATH only applies to track and field athletes and should not be confused with the broader WP:NSPORT. Smartyllama (talk) 20:04, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
