- Comment I thought scoring for a national team equals notability for a footballer? Love’s gonna get you killed (talk) 06:48, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. @Trillfendi: playing for a senior national team does confer notability per NFOOTBALL, but there is no evidence this applies here. GiantSnowman 08:02, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep: I believe she meets WP:ANYBIO for being nominated as 2017 "Woman Player of the Year" by Nigeria Football Federation, which is the highest footballing organization in the country. This was an apex recognition, not an underage category. The third best woman footballer in an entire country! Its just like English FA saying Harry Kane, Jordan Henderson and Harry Maguire are the best English players for the year, and we are saying one of them is not notable. I believe this is exactly why WP:ANYBIO was created, to cut the excesses of such situations. Going through the references, for a female footballer in a third world country to have references such as 12,3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 shows diverse multiple coverage that I interpret as passing GNG.

- Weak keep – I'm pretty conflicted on this one because the sources really lack depth, and are almost entirely interviews, so they lack independence, too. For example: [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]. On the other hand, the coverage is sustained (three years), in multiple countries, and I think the volume is higher than average for a woman footballer playing in Nigeria and Kazakhstan (as opposed to, say, a man in England). The multiple award nominations (but no wins) also maybe barely meets ANYBIO. Put it all together, plus the fact that this player is young and still active, and it just gets me over the line to say we have enough to meet GNG and write a (short) article. – Levivich 15:51, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
