Keep She was fifth in ladies' aerial skiing at last year's Junior Championships. In other sports that's sufficient to meet notability requirement. She has had articles written on her, e.g. a recent article, 2013 article list, 2012 article list, etc. I think she has enough coverage to meet WP:GNG. (Disclosure: I did make some edits to the article after I saw this AfD page last week.) Kirin13 (talk) 06:04, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Week keep – This is an interesting case. I am generally in favor of including people who are among the best in some recognized activity. For example, ice skaters who compete in the World Junior Figure Skating Championships get articles because just to qualify they have to be among the best in the world. So I would tend to say yes because of the 5th place in world freestyle championships. Especially if other skiers got articles because of that. The marathons, no. There are too many limiting factors. She completed a marathon + [youngest] + [with her mother] + [in Antarctica]. That excludes too many other people (almost everybody). If the RS coverage was because of [youngest], that doesn't impress me a lot. Basically my feeling is maybe TOOSOON, but if 5th place in the world championships is enough, then yes. – Margin1522 (talk) 21:52, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Setting the course record in the "world's toughest marathon" in the Andes is also impressive. – Margin1522 (talk) 22:02, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I considered adding that to the article, but it was just asking for a {{According to whom}} tag. Kirin13 (talk) 22:17, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, however as I learned this week, even a figure skater who clearly fails WP:NSKATE and hasn't done anything else, if there is sufficient RS, then s/he meets WP:GNG and gets an article. Regards Kirin13 (talk) 22:17, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
