• Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 13:20, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep has extensive third person sources to justify notability. Dwanyewest (talk) 03:26, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Dwanyewest: Could you please point out which sources specifically offer significant coverage? Paul Vaurie (talk) 06:17, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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) 15:45, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Per Dwanyewest. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 13:39, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  @Das osmnezz: what’s your rationale for keeping? You are providing none, just like Dwanyewest, who did not provide any example of sourcing that passes GNG. The delete argument is currently stronger. Paul Vaurie (talk) 07:03, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Paul Vaurie: So coverage in Soccer America, CBC Sports, The New York Times and The Hartford Courant aren't credible sources to make this article notable? Dwanyewest (talk) 12:16, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - currently, keep arguments have not demonstrated that a single source qualifies the subject as passing GNG. Deletion arguments stand stronger as of now. Paul Vaurie (talk) 04:14, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as a WP:GNG failure. The sources cited by "Keep" proponents above are almost exclusively passing mentions, which briefly mention Dorn's name as part of articles about the CyberRays as a whole. The only exceptions are primary sources associated with the CyberRays themselves, which also do not contribute to GNG. Devonian Wombat (talk) 13:08, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak delete - Dorn played in the first season of women's professional football in the United States, and she was a regular as the club won the league. I would've expected more coverage for a player with that background, but I'm not finding it (I'm only finding routine or superficial stuff like these: [1], [2]).
