Comment Is a junior player, currently active in Junior Australian Open. Has one ITF title, but only in a small $10k tournament. So she fails WP:NTENNIS. Too early to create this article. MakeSense64 (talk) 15:15, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete — Fails WP:NTENNIS as a junior player, who hadn't won a Grand Slam title and wasn't ranked in the top 3 of the junior rankings. Armbrust, B.Ed. ^{Let's talk}_{about my edits?} 17:24, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: There is a lot of sourcing out there out her, e.g., "one of the top junior tennis players in America" (Cleveland Plain Dealer, Nov. 8, 2011)[1], ("McPhillips is currently ranked No. 1 in the nation for girls 18 singles by the United States Tennis Association.") [2], [3], [4], all suggests she is notable despite age.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 19:14, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails all tennis notability guidelines. Must be ranked no.3 in the world for a junior or have won one of the four Majors. Fyunck(click) (talk) 03:06, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

But she seems to meet GNG, or least arguably does?--Milowent • ^hasspoken 13:46, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NTENNIS and WP:TOOSOON. I'll assert subject only meets GNG if we ignore WP:NOTNEWSPAPER. Sources provided by User:Milowent are local coverage (Plain Dealer actually says "local youth tennis standout" in headline). If Wikipedia isn't a newspaper, it isn't the Northern Ohio area sports section. BusterD (talk) 17:19, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
