Non-notable figure skater. No way do those passing mentions in the provided sources meet the standards of "significant coverage". The first simply verifies that she finished 4th at the U.S. championships. Bgsu98 (Talk) 05:00, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Surely, our friendly neighborhood nominator must understand by now that the sources present in an article are not the entirety of the sources available. Right? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 JTtheOG (talk) 07:56, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Comment I don't have membership for this particular archive, so therefore I can't read the sources offered, but have no reason to doubt the posts above and finishing fourth in the World Championships seems to suggest presumed notability to me. No surprise to find few sources on google in 2025 given her achievements were over 45 years ago.Canary757 (talk) 12:40, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Keep per sources kindly added to article.Canary757 (talk) 13:37, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per sources identified by JTtheOG which I have clipped so open access to all and added to the article so Canary757 and others can review easier. KylieTastic (talk) 13:19, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Please close this AFD as Speedy Keep. Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:56, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
