This article has one source, a directory. A biography requires sufficient non-trivial reliable independent sources to ensure neutrality. I cannot find any biographical sources about this subject. Rather than individual sub-stubs it would make more sense to merge these articles to a team or event article. Guy (

I think you are mistaking rules (i.e. policy) for subject-specific notability guidelines, which basically say that people who have competed int he Olympics are likely to have enough sources to have an article. A "rule" that being in the Olympics automatically means an article, violates
Wikipedia is not a directory, also
verifiability from
reliable independent sources. A local agreement of sports fans on the subject specific notability guideline cannot override policy with its much wider base of support. Which is the point. There are dozens of these articles, we already banned at least one user for mass-creating directory stubs, and this is just another one. Wikipedia is not a directory dates back over
14 years. Guy (

Rules, conventions, guidelines ... Anyone who has appeared in the Olympics has been allowed to have an article. Rather than trying to remove one article on a woman playing a minority sport for a southern-hemisphere country, it would be more useful to work for a change of the notability guideline. When all the one-appearance footballers and cricketers are acknowledged to be non-notable, then broaden the net to Olympians in other sports.

Keep A quick search in Spanish shows a lot of coverage, with results in at least three different languages, though it tends to be either about matches she's played in or on the Olympic team as a whole, including
[1]. I think it's enough to pass
WP:NOLY.

"Patty Soto" is also a good search term. Apparently she also played outside of Peru
[3], for
CV Haro. While Volleyball isn't nearly as much reported on as many other sports, the coverage seems nontrivial if you search properly. —Kusma (

Comment (Note, I am coming here via a discussion raised by JzG at NSPORT) JzG is challenging the presumption of notability given by NOLY as only one source exists in the article. The "Keep" !votes stating she's notable because of NOLY are not contributing as NOLY still requires editors to find independent secondary sources to build out the article. Whether JzG had done the necessary legwork per
WP:BEFORE is unclear, but there are factors working both with and against this: we have a 2000 Olympian so there should be a good chance there will be online sources but that she is from Peru and that might making finding even online sources more difficult. But !voters cannot restart "NOLY" here; that's exactly the type of
WP:ATA in AFDs. --

But do those sources provide in-depth coverage about her? That she captained the team is a fact, but not significant coverage. Just being able to find sources that include her name is nice, but that's not the extent of what needs to be shown. --

Keep Meets
WP:GNG with the new sources presented by Lugnuts. My advice to the author is to write articles with sources that clearly demonstrate the subject meets
WP:GNG from the start. Even if someone meets the SSG and it's a stub I think the article should at least contain a source or two proving notability so we can avoid these discussions. Sports-reference isn't a sufficient source to demonstrate notability.
