She clearly does not pass WP:NSPORT as all her achievements are at the junior level. Most sources in the article are databases, I see one short interview, which imo does not create notability as per WP:GNG. Some info together with this reference can be easily merged into the article about her father. Ymblanter (talk) 07:51, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This falls short of WP:SPORTCRIT's stipulation that athletes competing at the highest level are notable. Age-restricted competitions are not. The European Championships or something of that order would have been. This was probably written by a Youth Olympics fan (retired from enwiki since 2013) who also took into consideration her famous pedigree. Geschichte (talk) 11:39, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per both the above. Not enough for GNG. No Great Shaker (talk) 13:05, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Don't delete She may not have competed at the highest level, but she is more than just a Youth Olympic competitor. She won a gold medal there, which alone should warrant at the very least having a page, since that is in fact a well-respected competition. 13:28, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

It is a competition reserved for children. We don't cover children's football, children's soccer, children's basketball... Geschichte (talk) 10:48, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If a child athlete does have enough significant coverage from reliable sources over a significant period of time to pass WP:GNG then we absolutely do cover them. So if Sedykh has that kind of coverage, the article should be kept. If she doesn't, which so far looks like to be the case, then the article should be deleted.
