Sangita Phogat

Notability is not established by being someones daughter or a junior championship - this was a Prod contested by an IP with no explanation. Peter Rehse (talk) 09:39, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment She has won the 2016 bronze in the Indian senior national wrestling championship and is the 2016 official Indian national junior wrestling champion. Also, what might be your views in relation to WP:SPORTSPERSON, which mentions that an individual is presumed to be notable "if the person has actively participated in a major amateur or professional competition or won a significant honor"? Listing out a few sources for your perusal, that seem to make the subject qualify on BASIC:
 * ESPN news report on Sangita's rivalry with her sister Babita.
 * NDTV report on Sangita and Babita.
 * The Times of India report on Sangita and Ritu, her sister.
 * Hindi newspaper Patrika's report on Sangita's rivalry with Babita.
 * Huffington Post covering all six sisters (I would consider this only for BASIC rather than for GNG or SNG)
 * Hindustan Times report, similar to Huffington.
 * Thanks. Lourdes  13:24, 25 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep I concur with Lourdes and in my view she passes BASIC WP:GNG.FITINDIA&#160;(talk) 13:56, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Pinging for their view. Thanks.  Lourdes  15:41, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I notice there is an article abut the sisters and the references cited all appear to be in that context - I could see a redirect to Phogat sisters but the subject herself is not independently notable enough for a stand alone article.Peter Rehse (talk) 15:48, 29 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment I don't believe she meets WP:NSPORT because she has never competed at an adult world championship or Olympics. There does seem to be a fair amount of press coverage, although almost all of it is in conjunction with her sisters.  I'm wondering if a family article might be more appropriate.

 * Hi, I think a redirect to Phogat sisters, as suggested by , could be in order here. Lourdes  19:52, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing out the link. I like the idea.  I missed PRehse's comment. Papaursa (talk) 20:05, 29 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Phogat sisters with no objection to her having her own individual article when/if she has enough competitive success. Papaursa (talk) 20:05, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Phogat sisters. With thanks to the nominator to consider changing his delete assertion, I think the redirect is a wonderful workaround in this case. I'm pinging to consider changing their !vote to redirect too (I'm confident they would see the logic in this). Thanks.  Lourdes  04:10, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
 * hello, would you consider bolding your Redirect suggestion to enable the closing administrator/editor to clearly see the same? Thanks. Lourdes  04:12, 31 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Redirect I think am fine with a redirect for now.FITINDIA&#160;(talk)</b></i>
