Fails WP:SPORTSCRIT and WP:BIO. The best I could find is 1 line mentions in Australian search engine Trove. LibStar (talk) 06:01, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning Weak keep - A successful 70s/80s athlete who was the captain and key player of the Australian national team and the 1985 WNBL championship team. I did find a couple of sources on Newspapers.com that discussed her a bit, but nothing great. I'm not to familiar with Australian newspapers archives to be fully convinced that there is nothing out there. At worst, redirect the article to the Australia women's national basketball team.

Keep. Article has some significant coverage already cited via The Age and Bendigo Advertiser. We also have some coverage here and another passing mention and another title match report from The Age. The Age seems to have several more match reports and passing mentions. Taken together, should meet WP:BIO —siro χ o 11:27, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per sources above. It should be obvious that someone who captained a team from a major basketball country will be notable.--User:Namiba 16:29, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
