The result was delete. Consensus is she isn't (yet) notable. Star Mississippi 18:12, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:SPORTCRIT as she has not competed at the highest level of her sport. Medals in competitions for teenagers don't meet that guideline, and it's not uncommon that teenage athletes fail to transition into actual adult athletics. Geschichte (talk) 08:28, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I wondered if she wasn't notable because there was a small handful of news articles about her. Maybe I should stick with articles about Paralympians for now. Sorry for the inconvenience. SarahTHunter (talk) 10:24, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
She would probably survive an AfD at pl wiki, which in my experience is more inclusionist... a while ago I AfD there another Youth Olympics medalist and they were kept b/c editors there concluded YO is a "big thing" (although I still disagree with that).

It's certainly a big thing in the life of the athlete, but youth sports just isn't the same as senior sports. Many athletes realize this when they see how much training goes into being an international senior athlete, and give up their careers. So I think we agree here. In addition, the Youth Olympics is not a "real" competition with 30 IAAF members not sending any competitors, and a majority sending 1 or 2. We recently deleted a gold medalist from the same event. Lastly, while TOOSOON can be evoked, we can say TOOLATE as well, since her career ended almost 5 years ago, so there is no chance of athletic notability in the future either.
