Delete — The subject of the article does not seem to meet our notability criteria for athletes (all her achievements have been at the junior and youth levels, not senior). — Fly by Night (talk) 16:19, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

  • Relisting comment. Relisting so that JORGENEV's sources can be evaluated. Also "duh" is not a deletion rationale. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:42, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
  • Delete -- Not notable article Mohamed Aden Ighe (talk) 01:01, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep. Obviously notable given her achievements and the coverage of her.--Michig (talk) 08:47, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep. As Jorganev has amply shown, Nelson clearly passes the general notability guideline. Therefore that she doesn't meet WP:ATH is irrelevant. Also worth noting that some of the above deletion rationales are extremely weak. Jenks24 (talk) 11:58, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep Evidently notable. Warden (talk) 14:00, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep: Notable as sources above show. SL93 (talk) 21:01, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
