The result of the debate was: Keep. Pretty easy call here. Tomer TALK 07:48, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
del nonnotable tennis player. "World #28" IMO is hardly a distinctive feature. mikka (t) 19:22, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: World #28 I think is particularly significant. She's been on the pro tour since 2003, and has won two ITF titles, one each in singles and doubles. See WTA profile here: [1]. ITF profile here: [2]. She's won more than US$234,000 playing tennis and she's just 18. If #28 in the world isn't enough to keep the article, what # would be? --Durin 19:40, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- The article says she didn't win any titles, contrary to you claim. mikka (t) 20:00, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Please reference [3]. On that page it shows she won two ITF titles as I noted above. That information might not be in the article, but it is true. --Durin 20:04, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Could you please indicate what world tennis ranking you would consider sufficient to justify inclusion and your rationale behind the metric? --Durin 20:05, 26 August 2005 (UTC) --Durin 20:05, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- keep, verifiable and factual. Trollderella 19:54, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia is not a dumpster for everything factual in the world. I was born in January. It is verifiable and factual. And I am World #21. Shall I write an article about myself? mikka (t) 20:00, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- If you want to write an article, we could vote on it, my vote reffered to this article. I think that the article you are talking about would probably be deleted under vanity criteria, and more correctly belongs on your userpage. Trollderella 20:03, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, professional sports figure. Hall Monitor 20:05, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I've significantly upgraded the article now with table similar to that found on Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova, added some biography, significant career coverage, and external links. --Durin 21:03, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, number 28 in the world is certainly notable. Zoe 21:23, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: This article has been on Wikipedia:Requested articles/sports since June 5. See [4]. --Durin 21:46, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, I'd consider top #100 to be notable at least. feydey 23:55, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Her world ranking and track record make her notable enough for mine. Capitalistroadster 01:08, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. If a baseball draft choice is notable enough for an article without even turning pro, as was voted here not long ago, a professional tennis player who is competitive but not top-rank successful certainly is. Monicasdude 01:42, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Notable tennis player. FCYTravis 01:55, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Notable tennis player. *drew 01:46, 28 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
