Failure of WP:GNG. No significant coverage online. This exists but mostly primary source with interview, and not nearly enough to warrant article. Non-notable soccer player. Paul Vaurie (talk) 06:22, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Football, and Pennsylvania. Paul Vaurie (talk) 06:22, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. Barely anything to support the notability of the subject, given the sources provided. GuardianH (talk) 13:01, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. Paul Vaurie (talk) 19:37, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep has multiple sources to demonstrate notability. Dwanyewest (talk) 11:57, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
- Comment I have expanded the article based on the existing sources and a few others found. Significa liberdade (talk) 15:38, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - no evidence of notability. The Hartford Courant source looks OK, needs more. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 13:22, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - Per Dwanyewest. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 18:01, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Das osmnezz: You're supposed to show those sources and give some kind of argument. Just saying "keep" per someone who says "there are sources" is not strong enough an argument. Paul Vaurie (talk) 00:47, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Paul Vaurie: There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Alexa Borisjuk to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Dwanyewest (talk) 04:48, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Dwanyewest: I know what the general notability guideline is, thanks. Just saying that the subject passes is not an argument, you need to mention some of the sources. As for me, I cannot mention sources when there is a lack thereof, and I mentioned the only source I could find at the time of the AFD submission. Paul Vaurie (talk) 05:49, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
- Draftify, at worst. AfD initiated two days after creation and while the article was being improved. Due to their career's timeframe, online search results might not be indicative of the subject's notability or lack thereof. Let the editors already working on the article deal with passing AfC instead of failing AfD. -Socccc (talk) 15:41, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
Keep - Player meets WP Football Player Notability, which states "Have played for a fully professional club at a national level of the league structure". This player played in Women's United Soccer Association the first fully professional league for women. I agree more sourcing, specifically secondary sourcing, would enhance this article, but the player meets WP Football player notability guidelines.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Demt1298 (talk • contribs) 18:57, 18 August 2023 (UTC)- @Demt1298: You do know that WP:NFOOTY was abolished, right? Paul Vaurie (talk) 16:16, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Paul Vaurie At the time I did not. A couple of other editors informed me of the discussion and pointed me to more up to date information about this. Thanks for asking. Demt1298 (talk) 16:20, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Demt1298: Thanks for clarifying. However, I would suggest slashing out your keep vote. Paul Vaurie (talk) 16:21, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris talk! 19:52, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete: This subject does not meet any notability guidelines. WP Football Player Notability is an essay, and is not a substitute for the subject lacking third party sources. As others have noted, the keep votes have not provided any sources to show notability. User:Let'srun 00:48, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: I've added some information on the talk page for the article because I get lost trying to make sense of athletics. Still, she is also the founder of a fitness campaign that seems to have some following around the U.S. called "Sweat Like a Mother" or "Strong Stroller Moms" (they're both used). It's there if anyone can use it to improve the article and meet notability requirements. OIM20 (talk) 21:18, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. GNG is not met with the sources found. Meeting a project essay criterion is irrelevant.
- JoelleJay (talk) 03:02, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
- Comment - keep arguments have not provided or shown any single source that provides significant coverage under WP:GNG - and the argument for NFOOTY is invalid, because that was deprecated a while back. Paul Vaurie (talk) 16:18, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
