The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. This consensus is on the weaker side of things (hence totally agree with the relist), so a draftify for potential improvement is definitely open as an option, however even with a further 7 days and no further contributions, happy to call this a delete.

Not enough independent coverage to satisfy WP:GNG. Additionally, a regional qualification tournament isn't a major international competition at the highest level, thus failing WP:NSPORT. JTtheOG (talk) 22:35, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

comment hitting two homers in a major european tournament, seem major to me. lots of coverage in Italian press. --Abetpluto (talk) 17:55, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Abetpluto: Again, I wouldn't classify a regional qualification tournament as a major competition at the highest level, but either way, the subject has not been shown to receive sufficient coverage to meet WP:GNG. JTtheOG (talk) 20:29, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

the winning teams of the qualifiers seem notable, when the field is six teams, and the rosters are smaller, unlike volleyball, or field hockey. --Abetpluto (talk) 17:09, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Abetpluto: If she were notable she would pass WP:GNG regardless of which tournament she played in. Check out the softball article I just created yesterday: Sashel Palacios. Multiple independent sources which cover her directly and in detail instead of just a passing mention. JTtheOG (talk) 20:01, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~. Am I missing something? She's an Olympic athlete, or at least she will be in a little more than a week, probably before this discussion is closed. By consensus, we keep all Olympians. pburka (talk) 21:16, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- @Pburka: Actually, yes. It's true that she was a member of the national team, and was even on a preliminary shortlist of 22 women, but she was ultimately left off the final Olympic roster after they cut it down to 15 players. JTtheOG (talk) 21:25, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - That seems like the important information I was missing! pburka (talk) 21:39, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - @Pburka: My fault for not making that clear. JTtheOG (talk) 21:44, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, this seems to not cut it, a sub-Olympian so to speak. Geschichte (talk) 21:22, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
