@Sportsfan 1234: Jersey? 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 13:52, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It appears there's no regional sorting category for Guernsey. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 14:02, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Athletes competing in Commonwealth Games passes WP:NSPORTS and WP:GNG right? I agree she hasn't featured in BWF or other international badminton events. Abishe (talk) 12:04, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Abishe: I think the nomination is because the criteria that mentions the Commonwealth Games requires them to have 'competed in the quarter-finals' Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 13:56, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'd imagine first criteria too look at is the sport the athlete competes in, which is badminton. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 15:12, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes that is what I meant, the #2 criteria of WP:NBADMINTON. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 20:59, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete does not meet notability guidelines for badminton players.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:17, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep meeting GNG: has a BBC article, see here. Is named in many other news articles. SportsOlympic (talk) 20:27, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@SportsOlympic: being 'named' in an article isn't enough to satisfy GNG, there needs to be significant coverage. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 11:37, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I know, but if you could have seen, the BBC article is not only “named”. It’s an article about her, including title, of the main news media of the UK. SportsOlympic (talk) 14:40, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@SportsOlympic: WP:INDEPTH says the coverage must include "analysis that puts events into context, such as is often found in books, feature length articles in major news magazines". The BBC article just reports the results of her two matches, with no such analysis. Neither is it WP:SECONDARY coverage - it doesn't tell us what the writer thought about per performance in the matches, there's no analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts. See WP:SIGCOV. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 15:22, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A better way to phrase it is it's WP:ROUTINE.  Bait30  ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 03:30, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Looking at the discussion of the WP:NBADMINTON criteria at the WikiProject Badminton they have a well established and well argued basis for their notability criteria based on an assessment of different levels of international tournament by their international body. This player clearly falls short of those criteria. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 08:36, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
