Fails notability criteria for rugby union players as the Women's Premiership is not fully professional (see the WikiProject's list), which is how the "major competition" requirement of WP:SPORTSPERSON is assessed for rugby union players. Furthermore, fails WP:BASIC due to the lack of depth in the coverage presented in the article's citations. Any number of people are casually mentioned in local newspapers and specialist subject newspapers; this does not render them notable. Furthermore, this article is more or less orphaned, only being linked to in the mainspace from Miles (surname) and Tunbridge Wells Girls' Grammar School.

• Keep: It has sufficient sources around it to meet WP:GNG. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 16:18, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
  • Comment: GNG requires reliable sources giving significant coverage, not just any sources mentioning the subject trivially. So let's go through them:
    1. Her section on the Harlequins website – nope, fails WP:IS#How to meet the requirement
    2. Her section on the Women's Elite Rugby – nope, fails WP:SIGCOV
    3. An article on the Harlequins website – nope, IS# again
    4. An article on another club's website that mentions her in passing – nope, SIGCOV again
    5. Kent & Sussex Courier on the fact she ran a school rugby club – nothing wrong with the source this time, but the subject matter hardly creates notability. Curiously the Bexhill Observer frequently discusses what the local parish priest, Fr David Reynish, has been up to. So I guess that means he's notable? o.O
    6. Rushall life – nope, in fact that's not even an allowable source, see WP:BLPSPS
    7. Kent & Sussex Courier – nope, see 5, this time it also fails SIGCOV
    8. Kent & Sussex Courier – see 5
    9. Tunbridge Wells RFC – nope, fails both SIGCOV and IS#
    10. Schoolgamesfinals.org – nope, she's not even mentioned in the prose bit, so SIGCOV again
    11. Tunbridge Wells RFC again – can't comment on SIGCOV because offline, still IS# issue though
    12. Another article on the Harlequins site – nope, obviously IS# again
    13. The Rugby Paper – maybe, can't comment on the SIGCOV though
    14. Times of Tunbridge Wells – fails SIGCOV yet again

  So in summary, while 13 of these sources might be fine as sources of information for the article, only four of them (if being charitable, otherwise nil) actually qualify as sources that can support the subject's notability - and three of them are from the same publication. Sorry, but from where I'm sitting it looks like Ellie doesn't meet WP:GNG in any way, shape or form.--Newbiepedian (talk · contribs · X! · logs) 21:58, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

• Comment This might be case of an article too soon. Perhaps the best option might be to draftify or userify. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 17:42, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
• Keep I saw that Time & Leisure magazine recently covered her as a fast-rising female rugby player who is getting more women involved with the sport. It's significant coverage about her, which I added to her entry. Lonehexagon (talk) 22:29, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
