 * Keep. Played at the highest level (World Championships), satisfies WP:SPORTCRIT. WWGB (talk) 13:16, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. As per above. I note "World Championships" is not mentioned in WP:SPORTCRIT so doesn't seem to satisfy it.  I also note article doesn't satisfy WP:BASEBALL/N. I elliot (talk) 03:02, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep for several reasons. Firstly the subject meets WP:GNG, just look at the 15 references already in the article – it clearly amounts to significant coverage. In addition, she competed at the Women's Softball World Championship which obviously meets the WP:SPORTCRIT criterion "participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level". And even if you argue softball falls under baseball in WP:NSPORTS, I'd say she meets criterion #2 of WP:BASE/N: "participated in a major international competition". Lastly, I note the creator of the article was not notified of this nomination, which is pretty poor form, especially when you can clearly see a fair deal of work has gone into the article.

 * Keep: Satisfies WP:GNG with sources provided and a quick search on the internet. Other sources: . Coverage is in multiple languages, and from at least four countries: USA, Australia, New Zealand and Netherlands.  Satisfies WP:NSPORTS having competed at World Championships, the highest level competition since the sport was removed from the Olympic program. --LauraHale (talk) 08:25, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. She has played at the highest level of her sport. Regardless of how you lawyer WP:NSPORT, that's going to establish a presumption of notability. And the coverage is reasonable enough to give the article a pass on the GNG. --Mkativerata (talk) 11:24, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Snow Keep Notability is obvious per WP:GNG and WP:NSPORTS. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 11:29, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
