Non notable sports administrator with insufficient secondary source coverage, recently created. Orderinchaos 12:20, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Checked Trove, Newsbank and Google News archives, which only show her being quoted but not about herself. Orderinchaos 12:21, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I will be addinng information from the following three references in near future. Significant Australian sport administrator and part of the Australian paralympic Wikipedia History Project. Lois Appleby - personality profile.Rafferty, L., ANZALS Newsletter 1995: Vol. 5 Issue 1. p. 15 Interview with Lois Appleby: CEO of the 2000 Paralympic Games.Sen, T., Sweat May-Aug 1999: Issue 4. p. 18-19 The paralympics' very able organiser.

Delete: I would like to vote keep but a review of WorldCat, NewsBank, Trove, Google News, Google Books does nothing to support a vote under WP:GNG and it is unclear under which other criteria the article could be kept like WP:NSPORTS. Plus, the tone of the article is highly promotional. If it is kept, this needs to be removed. --LauraHale (talk) 13:32, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No mainstream coverage about the subject. Read like promo too, but really the lack of coverage is the issue.Truth or consequences-2 (talk) 00:57, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
