Deletion of 2013 Maria Sharapova tennis season

Comment: This one is not an easy call for me.  A couple preliminary points.  First, there is room for reasonable debate over which individual tennis seasons merit stand-alone articles, but I think that broader debate is best held elsewhere.  Second, the article in its current format is in the nature of a statistical compilation; that's a reason to improve (to make the article more like 2013 Serena Williams tennis season) but not necessarily reason to delete.  What matters for AfD purposes is not the current state of the article, but whether Sharapova's 2013 season has received significant coverage satisfying . By Sharapova's recent standards, her 2013 season was an "off" year, but still decent.  She did not win any majors, but she did win the BNP Paribas and Porsche tournaments, played in the finals at the French Open, and was ranked No. 3 in the world when her season ended prematurely due to injury.  Coverage of her 2013 season includes '''(1)''' http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/527537/20131205/maria-sharapova.htm#.U_dtqvldVyU this article from the ''International Business Times'' specifically focused on Sharapova's 2013 tennis season.  A google search for Sharapova and "2013 season" turns up 41,000 hits, including  '''(2)''' http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/16/sports/tennis/sharapova-is-back-in-the-game-and-as-driven-as-ever.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 this from ''The New York Times'' focusing largely on her 2013 season, '''(3)''' http://www.si.com/tennis/beyond-baseline/2013/10/07/maria-sharapova-withdraws-from-wta-championships-shoulder-injury this from ''Sports Illustrated'', '''(4)''' http://www.upi.com/Sports_News/2013/10/07/Shoulder-injury-ends-Sharapovas-season/UPI-79501381162127/ this this from the UPI, '''(5)''' http://www.tennischannel.com/news/NewsDetails.aspx?newsid=12269 this from Tennis Channel, and '''(6)''' http://www.tennisnow.com/News/2013-in-Review-Maria-Sharapova.aspx this from TennisNow focusing on S's 2013 tennis season. I am still on the fence on "keep" vs. "delete" but thought I'd offer some of my preliminary thoughts

Comment: First and foremost, , by its own terms, only applies to "individual seasons of teams in top professional leagues"; any reliance on  as a short cut in establishing the notability of a single season of a single professional tennis player is misplaced.  To demonstrate the notability of any single season of one pro tennis player, that defined season -- not the player, not the individual tournaments played by the player during the season, not the player's promotions and endorsements during that season -- must satisfy the general notability guidelines per .  That means the player's individual 2013 season -- not the player, not the 2013 tournaments in which the player participated, not the player's 2013 promotions, and not the 2013 WTA Tour season -- must have received significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources per GNG.  That's no small task, because tennis player's careers are not normally covered on the basis of single seasons like many team sports are
