Article on a footballer who fails WP:NFOOTY as has never played in a fully-professional league. Also fails WP:GNG as no significant coverage (all the references are mere mentions of her). Number 5 7 21:45, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 07:13, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Although given her age I think she may be notable one day, 16 is young for that league so she'll probably play professionally. KaisaL (talk) 17:16, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Other AfDs concerning British female footballers provided some indication of an emerging desire to consider female players in non-FPL but still top flight divisions notable to correct perceived bias. Aside from the obvious issues with trying to apply this globally and the inherent bias that such a view would create against the men's game, these cannot be used as precedent here as the player in question has played only in the second tier.

Delete per WP:TOOSOON; while I do favor the need to address systemic bias by inclusion of top-flight amateur or semi-pro teams, here, User:Fenix is correct that this individual has not even reached that level. Montanabw ^(talk) 20:47, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
