Not seeing any notability. Slatersteven (talk) 16:38, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"A sportsperson is presumed to be notable if the person has actively participated in a major amateur or professional competition or won a significant honor and so is likely to have received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." WP:SPORTSPERSON She is on her 2nd season in the World cup and won her first world cup race today. JonasB (talk) 16:50, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It still needs to be source to an RS.Slatersteven (talk) 17:15, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

When it comes to skiing results, it doesn't get more reliable than FIS. JonasB (talk) 19:45, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as she does meet WP:SPORTSPERSON, and the sourcing is sufficient to show that. There are several other Swedish-language sources, such as this analysis, but nothing that would add any significant new information to the article, so there is no need to WP:CITEKILL it. --bonadea contributions talk 09:35, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is probably not how it should be, but there is a parallel discussion about it on my talk page for those who have an opinion about the issue. JonasB (talk) 10:41, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Won a medal at the Skiing World Cup, which is the highest level of competition short of the Olympics. Clearly notable. It is obvious the nominator didn't do any WP:BEFORE judging by their comments on JonasB's talk page that they "don't know" what the World Cup is or if it establishes notability, nor do they have any idea what the FIS is apparently. Smartyllama (talk) 20:08, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not I looked and found precious little. World cups tend to be reported around the world. I am still finding almost nothing about this "notable" win in English. Thus my reason for thinking this is not a world cup outside a very select few. If we compare to the football word cup, even even the world series (a world cup in only one nation) we get vast international coverage of the winners.Slatersteven (talk) 10:31, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As much as I love cross country skiing, I have to admit that it is a pretty small sport compared to football. Also, a skiing World Cup is very different from the Football WC as it is not a single event held over a month but rather a collection of races held through a season. But, it didn't take long for me to find this article about her: https://www.eurosport.com/cross-country-skiing/svahn-surges-to-surprise-gold-in-davos_sto7576425/story.shtml JonasB (talk) 21:29, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And I note it is date and time stamped after I AFD'd this.Slatersteven (talk) 10:51, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep. As above. J 1982 (talk) 20:57, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - per notable sport achievements. Per sourcing. Per WP:GNG.BabbaQ (talk) 11:47, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
