The result was delete - with no independant reliable sources to base an article on in the article or this AfD, and the strong objection to the claim that breaking your school's record is an encyclopaedic achievement, there isn't much of a case for notability. --Sam Blanning(talk) 13:49, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, having a college athletics record is not enough for notability. --Dhartung | Talk 23:00, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, she has more than just records, she was a starter as a freshman on the national championship team and set/tied several school records. She more than meet WP:BIO. --MECU≈talk 15:39, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
  • KeepAlready proved notability at the national level, a young up and coming athlete--TrulyUnited 23:07, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep per above. Somitho 06:08, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Setting individual records and winning national championships in popular US college sports would certainly qualify as "at the highest level in mainly amateur sports", and thus pass WP:BIO Caknuck 07:49, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete The above is, in my view, plain wrong. WP:BIO is not met by setting an RBI record for an individual school team, and simply being a member of a championship team is also insufficient. Clearly, clearly fails WP:BIO. Redirect if necessary to Michigan_Wolverines. Eusebeus 17:00, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Looks like some of the earlier voters (discussers? commenters?) didn't understand the article. It says she broke school records, not national records. Every school in the world has a school record, and the newer the school's athletics program is, the easier it is to break that record. I'm not saying Findlay isn't a good athlete; it seems pretty clear she must be. But her record is definitely not noteworthy on a Wikipedia-article scale. --Quuxplusone 05:26, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
