Sara Mérida

 * – ( View AfD View log )

All the usual database websites that we trust   seem to suggest that she has never played a game of football at the senior level so clearly fails WP:NFOOTY on that basis. This was largely due to a cruciate ligament tear that she never recovered from. The reason I am putting this for AfD rather than PROD is because there is, perhaps, a case that she meets WP:GNG because of the news coverage regarding her injury. I am leaning delete but happy to be proved wrong. As always, please ping me if important sources are found for GNG. Spiderone 19:29, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Withdraw - I've just found about three more pieces of WP:SIGCOV on top of the ones that SportingFlyer has found. In addition to this, it looks like she was injured in a game against Real Sociedad, which may or may not have been a competitive fixture anyway. In any case, please withdraw this daft nomination. Not my proudest moment. Spiderone  22:36, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Other feature articles on top of the single one in the article:    And mentions:  [] along with a couple other older sources which appear in the search but don't resolve when clicked. SportingFlyer  T · C  20:13, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - based on sources found by SportingFlyer which indicate GNG is met. There are plenty of notable male footballers who never made it despite young talent (injury, personal reasons etc. - see Sonny Pike as a classic example) and I see no reason why she should be any different given the coverage about her.
