Keep - I think that as a top level 5* rider and on Team GB for
FEI Nations Cup on multiple occasions she was already
WP:NSPORT relevant, and lack of previous article probably more reflective of the overall poor coverage of equestrian sport on WP. Suggest that there should be enough for an article. OwainDavies(

Aside from this AfD, they were only ever guidelines but it was my understanding that
WP:NSPORT, within which
WP:NEQUESTRIAN falls, had been abandoned in favour of general
WP:GNG notability, in-part so as to avoid the proliferation of single sourced historic competitors in favour of properly sourced, judged-on-their-own-merits, robust articles. A process which has clear merits, and without inbuilt asymmetry of certain sports having literally thousands of active competitors with
WP:BLP articles and other sports granted three medalists at a time. If you permit a further example of the difficulties of the guidelines and how they could be perceived as a barrier to the collation of information;
WP:RU/N had the criteria of only the semifinalists from the Women's World Cup, a tournament which takes place once every four years. However, in the pandemic the tournament was postponed for 18 months so a strict interpretation of the guidelines (which I saw being argued) would have no new 15-a-side female rugby union players permissible for over five and a half years. A hindrance to WP as an up-to-date information source, which an online encyclopaedia should have the capacity to excel at.

Comment I noticed the article about her husband, and put up
an AfD for that as well. Posting here as this would've been bundled had I noticed them at the same time.

That AfD nomination was a dumb move as her husband is clearly notable, and bundling the two bios would have thus been a very bad move indeed. Schwede6603:05, 1 June 2024 (UTC)reply
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: It would be nice to get an evaluation of additions to the article since its nomination. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, LizRead!Talk!01:14, 6 June 2024 (UTC)reply
