BLP1E isn't applicable.  Professional achievements are not "news events" in that sub-guideline's sense (even if they happen to be reported in the news).  BLP1E exists to prevent articles from being written about, say, someone who was briefly in the news for having been in a drunk driving accident that killed an entire family, or being one of the many victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.  It's not an excuse to nuke articles on professional athletes early in their careers.  :-)  What is applicable is , as well as  generally.  Since multiple, independent reliable sources reported on the IBSF World Snooker Championship and its progress, including hers, the GNG would seem to be satisfied, albeit marginally.  I'd be surprised if at least one major snooker site doesn't have an interview, profile or other content on her more specifically, and there may be Belarussian sources on her that we're not seeing because of the whole systemic bias effect, but it's 1 a.m. and I don't have the wakefulness to go looking.  We're a bit indeterminate on , then, but with presumption in favor of the subject, clearly, because of non-trivial coverage of the event and its players.  's only applicable requirement is "have participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level", which is clearly satisfied, since the IBSF World event is the top event in amateur snooker.  {{Em|Personally}} I have long thought that "participation" should not be enough to qualify for athletic notability (some world championships, in quite  number of sports, can have many hundreds of one-timer participants); more like at least making it into the quarter-finals.  But {{em|she did}}.  So even my overly-strict wishes are satisfied.  I don't see any way around the clear wording of ; we do have highest-level event participation.  That said, it's a miserable little stub and needs some attention
