Keep: per WP:MANOTE#Martial artists, WP:BIO and WP:GNG: national Muay Thai champion two years in a row, winner of first official female-male Muay Thai match in the country, with in-depth articles about her in mainstream national press, some of which aren't online but can be found in the scanned newspaper archive in the external links.

Keep meets GNG. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 00:49, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I believe there's enough coverage to show she meets WP:GNG. I don't think she meets WP:MANOTE by being the champion of a country with 1/6 the population of Chicagoland nor does amateur Muay Thai meet WP:KICK, but that doesn't matter since GNG trumps all.

I can't find anything in WP:MANOTE about competitors from small countries not being as notable as competitors from large ones. Captain Conundrum (talk) 08:26, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It would depend on your definition of "significant event". For example, previous discussions have determined that being the boxing champion of New York (which has a much larger population) is not sufficient to show notability and I would claim that the New York boxing title has far more competitors and is (arguably) more significant than the Mauritania female MT championship.
