Userfy, maybe a little bit too early, as it is only January 2 now; also, she might not complete this year with a good grade. 333 -blue 14:15, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy since nothing actually happened yet in this topic Legacypac (talk) 14:22, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep each of Williams' seasons from 2003 onwards have an artcile, including her 2006 season during which she contested only four tournaments and finished the year ranked 95 in the world. A year completed without a "good grade." DPickwick (talk) 15:06, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep easily fits the criteria since she has already been ranked number 1 during the season, and had previously won a major. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:30, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep as group matches for Hopman cup have already been confirmed as tournament starts in 2 days time Seasider91 (talk) 20:00, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. In two weeks or so, this will all be as mootily moot as it gets. How can the #1 ranked player not get an article? If she did fall (a la Eugenie Bouchard), that would be a huge story and merit an article anyway. Heads she wins, tails she "wins". Clarityfiend (talk) 01:27, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This AfD will be moot on Monday when she plays in the 2016 Hopman Cup. — Jkudlick ^tc_s 02:39, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @Jkudlick: she didn't play it today. 333 -blue 08:25, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Userfy until she plays (she withdrew from the 2016 Hopman Cup due to injury). At that point, it can be moved back to mainspace. — Jkudlick ^tc_s 08:37, 4 January 2016 (UTC); 09:35, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or speedy incubate and salt until 1 January 2017. Fails WP:V, WP:WEBHOST, WP:NEWSPAPER. This is not an article we want in mainspace. Unscintillating (talk) 14:08, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Unscintillating: your idea is extremely rediclous, though there're wiki pages. 333 -blue 13:49, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I find your comment unclear. What has my !vote got to do with wiki pages? Which of the three elements of "delete", "speedy incubate" and "salt until 1 January 2017" do you find "extremely rediculous"? Would it clarify if I added "or Userfy" in bold?

Keep It fits the criteria for number 1 ranked as she it did start the year ranked number 1. Matt294069 is coming 23:32, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - per criteria previously mentioned by Dpickwick. Cubbie15fan (talk) 18:58, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep- the article aggregates notable tournaments that a notable subject is participating in this year. There are also valid reasons given by other editors above which I wish not to repeat. Aha... (talk) 18:03, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
