Golden Girls of Bulgaria (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

It is unclear whether "Golden Girls of Bulgaria" (in English?) was really an official and/or widely known nmae for these athletes. No sources added since November 06. Does not add any information that could not be included in the articles about the athletes (which do seem notable). Also not a likely search term, in my point of view. PROD was contested. -- Sent here as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B. Wolterding 07:57, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Iliana Raeva, Lilia Ignatova and Anelia Ralenkova were all much the same age, were all raised on the same street in Sofia and all competed for the same Levski gymnastics club. The trio dominated the World and European rhythmic gymnastics championships in the late seventies and early eighties and were indeed known as the Golden girls in Bulgaria as this website from the Bulgarian National Sports Academy shows [1] shows. Gym media also notes the fact here [2] in a piece on their coach Neshka Robeva. Nick mallory 08:48, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not quite convinced. It seems that there's even no agreement how many "Golden Girls" there were - 3 or 4? Or even more? And the sources mainly cover the trainer. Maybe a note at Neshka Robeva would be in order. --B. Wolterding 11:19, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm just pointing out they were called that. How important that is I don't know. Such names were never 'official'. The source mentions the trainer, but it were the gymnasts who were the golden girls. There were four of them, I just pointed out that three of them came from the same street. Nick mallory 23:03, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as per above. All notable people with notable similarities that have been picked up and mentioned by the culture. I would like to see some more sourcing, though. -- Thesocialistesq/M.lesocialiste 08:07, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
