Deletion of Ashleigh Connor

Comment: just because other players have articles, and other Wikipedias have an article on this woman, |is not a reason for keeping. If we're going to say that "players in the highest level of women's football in each country" are inherently notable, then why not create articles on women who play in the top league of San Marino, Guam, Somalia etc. etc. To Jenks24 - thanks for finding the sources. Can you add them to the article please, and then I'll be happy to reconsider, and withdraw my nomination if needed. Regards

Comment: W-League players have generally been considered notable. I would think that it is appropriate to extend notability to players in the highest level of women's football in each country (especially a country that is a World Cup quarter finalist and now 8 in the FIFA rankings) to avoid the |systemic bias inherent in this encyclopedia's treatment of women's sport. Plus, what Jenks24 said. Did the nominator even look for a source

Comment: Yes, the W-League isn't fully professional, so Connor doesn't meet  (though it is absurd that someone who plays one minute in the fourth tier of English men's football is automatically notable, while professional players in the W-League aren't because not every player in the league is professional). In any case, it's abundantly clear that Connor passes GNG, having received significant coverage in independent reliable sources. See for example http://www.smh.com.au/sport/football/promising-soccer-star-dies-in-car-accident-20110721-1hqzt.html ''The Sydney Morning Herald'', http://www.illawarramercury.com.au/news/local/news/general/stingrays-star-ashleigh-connor-dies-in-car-accident-on-lonely-road/2234355.aspx ''Illawarra Mercury'', http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-07-22/tributes-flow-for-soccer-star-killed-in-car-crash/2806208/?site=illawarra ABC to name a few. But these are all related to her death, what about ? Well see http://www.abc.net.au/news/2009-10-11/mariners-women-triumph-to-go-top/1098762 ABC, http://au.fourfourtwo.com/news/118727,brisbane-book-sydney-date.aspx Australian FourFourTwo, http://www.sportsaustralia.com/articles/news.php?id=2425 Sports Australia, http://www.examiner.com.au/news/local/sport/general/young-matildas-beat-myanmar/856681.aspx ''The Examiner'', http://www.sportsaustralia.com/articles/news.php?id=6465 SportsAustralia, http://au.fourfourtwo.com/news/116759,central-coast-too-hot-for-reds.aspx Australian FourFourTwo, http://au.fourfourtwo.com/news/117248,hotshot-heyman-the-hero.aspx Australian FourFourTwo, http://newsstore.fairfax.com.au/apps/viewDocument.ac?page=1&sy=age&kw=Ashleigh+Connor&pb=all_ffx&dt=selectRange&dr=entire&so=relevance&sf=text&sf=headline&rc=10&rm=200&sp=0&clsPage=1&docID=NCH0910125B14A45MJJM ''Newcastle Herald'', http://newsstore.fairfax.com.au/apps/viewDocument.ac?page=1&sy=age&kw=Ashleigh+Connor&pb=all_ffx&dt=selectRange&dr=entire&so=relevance&sf=text&sf=headline&rc=10&rm=200&sp=0&clsPage=1&docID=SMH091012EI5DE2FAN42 ''The Sydney Morning Herald'', all of which are from before her death. Also note that the article was not just created as a result of her death, but has existed since 2009, and that there is a :de:Ashleigh Connor|German article on Connor and it's common knowledge that de.wiki takes a much tougher stance on notability than en.wiki

Comment: Fails , because the W-League is ''not'' fully-professional. I'm not sure whether the news of her death is considered significant coverage or not, so as to pass . PeeJay, according to , an athlete is notable if they have participated in a major '''international''' amateur or professional competition at the highest level, or if they pass . ''The W-League is not an international competition'', so Ashleigh is not considered notable

Comment: can anyone please point me to a notability guideline that mentions playing in "top level" is enough? Because the one that I've found and used, , mentions "fully-professional league (as detailed |here)", of which the W-League is NOT one
