Fails WP:GNG. Achievements include Black belt in Karate, Winner of National level Taekwondo competition. And represented her country at the taekwondo world cup. She also seems to have gained some coverage organizing a self-defense camp for 5000 women at a time, but not enough to be considered significant. Daiyusha (talk) 07:12, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I have found and included more sources, and edited the article. I believe that she does meet WP:GNG, with significant coverage over several years for her activities training girls in self-defence, as well as for preventing the kidnap and assault of a girl while she was off-duty.

Delete Fails WP:GNG. There is significant coverage from the TOI for the felicitation, and this from the Hindu is perhaps more than just routine coverage. But there just isn't any real depth to the subjects notability, just some news hype about one event, and subsequent recognition for that event. WP:TOOSOON as far as I can tell.

Comment--Roughly BLP1E. FWIW, black belt in Karate is definitely not an extraordinary achievement.But, I need to check whether she passes WP:NSPORTS.∯WBG^converse 20:38, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If it's BLP1E, it's actually BLP2E, with one of the "events" spread out over 4 years. RebeccaGreen (talk) 06:14, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep agree per above Keep, and thanks for improved. 65.18.125.9 (talk) 04:13, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Not really convinced there is a consensus here. What RebeccaGreen (as most of the time) did is a good work, but it seems there was no full agreement to that, one user saying he will check but does not come back, and the new !vote just using per X person rationale without going in the detail.

Real depth to your reasoning. I also note that you are the second Burmese editor with a fairly new account to !vote in this AfD nomination; which is interesting. Cesdeva ^(talk) 22:58, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

wait what? New account? you blind? My account was created 3 month ago, and can you see user log and User contributions, I'm active on Myanmar wikiproject and AFD for women. So, I agree RebeccaGreen's work....Thanks. Mmcele (talk) 09:16, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've been through your contribs already. AfD Parrot much? Cesdeva ^(talk) 09:31, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

~~Cesdeva what you mean? Can you note I'm not from India, not RS with this subject. Thanks Mmcele (talk) 09:59, 25 December 2018 (UTC)~~[reply]

Mmcele Either way, RebeccaGreen has changed their vote from keep to comment, you might want to provide a proper reasoning instead of saying keep as per above. Daiyusha (talk) 12:44, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Daiyusha, I have not changed my vote, I added a comment in response to WBG's claim that it was "roughly BLP1E". If I had changed my vote, I would have struck out the original vote. RebeccaGreen (talk) 01:17, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination on account of subject failing WP:MANOTE. Specifically, subject has not been the founder of notable martial-arts style, an Olympic participant or world champion of a significant international organization, a repeated medalist (as an adult black belt, i.e. 1st dan equivalent or higher rank) in a significant event nor the auhor of a significant book on their style. (BTW, we seem to have a small infestation of baby soxers here. ) -The Gnome (talk) 13:06, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Usually the socks are a good indication that something's amiss with an article, but I do feel the subject here meets WP:GNG at least. The references provided are good (reliable, independent, etc.) and clearly not WP:BLP1E. I didn't focus on the individual details (winning a black belt), which are by themselves non-notable, but on the totality of the article. Ifnord (talk) 00:42, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – Passes GNG. Articles from The Times of India and The Hindu, among other sources, offer sufficient coverage for passing notability guidelines. ––Redditaddict69 ^(talk) ^(contribs) 04:39, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
