Appears to fail WP:ATHLETE unless the World Junior Championship is considered the highest amateur level of a sport. I would think that "junior" would make that answer no. -- Mufka ^(u) ^(t) ^(c) 12:19, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It's the highest level for athletes of that age. I don't see any guidelines that say junior champions can't be included. And apart from the whole age discrimination thing, if you strip off the bad sources a cursory Google search shows there is plenty of reliable sources to meet WP:GNG. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:57, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep Being a junior does not automatically deprive the subject of her notability - not even close. The ground of AfD nomination does not seem to make sense at all.Blodance (talk) 08:27, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I disagree that competing at a world junior championships confers, or gives any real indication of, notability. Junior championships in sport are very common and many of them are open entry or close to it. It is not the highest amateur level of the sport, so it can't pass WP:ATHLETE. I wouldn't say junior championship competitors can't be notable; some may very well pass WP:GNG. But in this case there appears to be very little secondary coverage of the skater other than results and template bios - I can't possibly see how she would pass WP:GNG.--Mkativerata (talk) 20:07, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
