Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested without addressing the notability concerns. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:30, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep article needs cleanup and ref improvement per WP:ATD, not deletion. Hmlarson (talk) 23:42, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The subject does not satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Simply saying "article needs cleanup and ref improvement", without explaining why the editor who said so thinks it is notable, is not a reason for keeping. The king of the sun (talk) 17:16, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 21:47, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The article's references have been significantly improved to meet WP:GNG criteria. Hmlarson (talk) 00:52, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Given that Solaun is on the Seattle Reign pre-season roster, has apparently recovered from her injury, and, according to her Coach, is expected to see "significant minutes" this season, it doesn't make much sense to delete this article now -- just to re-post it a month from now. Let's wait and see. Plus, I would add that earlier this month she was a starter for the U.S. Under-23 team in an international tournament.Smallchief (talk 01:15, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There is a very well established consensus that WP:NFOOTY should not be applied pre-maturely in anticipation of possible future appearances. (See this and this for example). Sir Sputnik (talk) 03:56, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - There are sufficient independent articles covering Solaun that she meets GNG. Should the final decision be to remove the article from mainspace, then I volunteer to have the article moved to my userspace until she meets NFOOTY by playing for the Seattle Reign. — Jkudlick • t • c • s 02:35, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Fails NFOOTY, but passes wider GNG. Significant, non-routine coverage can be found in the following sources amongst others:

All of these are already sources in the article. Seems GNG is met in this instance. Fenix down (talk) 11:02, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep Per the above sources, I believe they just about pass WP:GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 20:32, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
