Keep: I agree that subject does not meet WP:FOOTBALL, I remember I expressed such fears while moving to mainspace. While I respect the consensus among volunteers within that WikiProject, I think it will be more reasonable to include a criteria such that all top scorers and best players in top-level women leagues may be regarded as notable if they are well sourced. Even though, it might not be a fully professional league based on FIFA's standard, I can authoritatively state that the girls who partake in the league are breadwinners for their families, it is the most consistent women football league on the continent. We have national team players from several African countries coming to play here. Orjinma winning top scorer is a huge deal. I feel this is a vital encyclopaedic BLP that should have an article on Wikipedia. And its not like Orjinma is a one-season wonder, I am aware that she started for Rivers Angels in their week 10 league fixture on October 7. I am basing my keep vote based on the significance of this topic in ten years time and my belief that it meets the requirement for a BLP based on being a top scorer in a top-level women football league. And why did the nominator not give me a notification of this discussion on my talkpage? HandsomeBoy (talk) 08:01, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. The suggested exception does not conform with policy and is stretching guidelines to breaking point. W C M_email 11:47, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
weak Delete article really needs improvement if we are to keep it. No DOB? No awards? I don't think our criteria should be breadwinning women. Fred(talk) 15:30, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you. Unfortunately the three credible football awards in Nigeria, NFF Awards (started in 2018), Nigeria Pitch Awards (started in 2013, but only included a category for women in 2016), League Bloggers Award (started in 2011, but only began including a women category in 2017) didn't provide a platform for her in 2014. I am really happy that in terms of digital coverage, things are really changing from the Nigerian perspective, both in terms of coverage and seriousness of administrators towards local women football. At least, we have a league that former foreign-based players can return to, if their services are no-longer needed abroad. The pay might not be up there yet, but its something and regular, especially for the big clubs. Online coverage is definitely better than how it used to be 5 years ago.
