Non notable biography of a woman who never played in the Olympics, and is most well known for being the daughter of a Supreme Court Justice. This article can simply be summed up in a few words on Byron White's article. Cheers! Fake scientist 8000 20:42, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Getting a Congressional Gold Medal seems like an WP:ANYBIO pass to me. Am I missing something? CT55555 (talk) 21:36, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It does remind me of that time I was named Time Person of the Year. St Anselm (talk) 12:38, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It usually is not if it is part of a group award, which this was. The CGM can be awarded to individuals, but also to large groups of people as a "blanket award" to recognize their collective accomplishments or contributions. Best, GPL93 (talk) 23:27, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I respect this counter argument. And if getting the medal and the Olympics was the only claim to fame, I think I'd strike my vote. But she's also in a hall of fame, also other encyclopedic content here, this isn't one of those stubs with one line, so I remain keep. CT55555 (talk) 00:47, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. per CT55555. Plus making the national team for the olympics even if they never went because of the boycott. W C M_email 07:47, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ even participanting in the Olympics is not ground for notability, only medaling, so making an Olympic team and not participating is even less grounds for notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:42, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Byron White#Personal_life. The references aren't enough to merit an individual article. Additionally, the Congressional Gold Medal was a blanket award for a group of people and that usually does not indicate individual notability. Best, GPL93 (talk) 23:21, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per GPL93. Since we have an article on her father we can make any needed mention there. We do not need a separate article on her.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:42, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. I really thought I would be able to find GNG-meeting coverage here. But I was not. All I found was a paragraph in Stanford: Home of Champions and a brief New York Times article about her wedding ([1]). So redirect. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:28, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
