WP:SIGCOV failure. Previously prodded with a rationale that the Deaflympics is not an event that gets much media coverage. As a result, there are no independent news about Petrine Olgeirsdottir in her home country. The National Library archives yield 11 hits, all completely trivial. 10 of the 11 hits are random coverage of local children. The last hit is about the sign language rapper Signmark whom she showed up to watch. Of the 5 sources already in the article, all are WP:PRIMARY or WP:PASSING or both. Further googling yields hits about deaf futsal (primary, passing), [1] (primary, very short). This is more significant, but again primary. This and this article are about sign language interpretation and the subject undertaking a bachelor's degree, which is not something people become known for. There is a discussion worth having on the basis of WP:BIAS, but sports events don't really bestow automatic notability anymore, including the Olympics.

Delete: Name popped up here, not sure if it's the same person [2], but it's trivial regardless. Nothing else I can find to support notability. Oaktree b (talk) 14:25, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There's also this NRK article on the sign language interpretation issues she's experiencing in her studies, similar to the other articles you listed. Bridget (talk) 01:40, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It would be the original article from which the Teknomers piece is translated. But would it confer notability upon a person? Geschichte (talk) 10:17, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete: BLP, Fails GNG and NBIO. Sources in article and BEFORE found nothing with WP:SIGCOV from WP:IS WP:RS addressing the subject directly and indepth. this is mainly an interview, fails WP:IS. I thought I would be able to find sources, if anyone does post sources, ping me (actual SIGCOV). BLPs require strong sourcing. // Timothy :: talk 06:41, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment She has participated in Deaflympics which is equivalent of Olympics for deaf people. I understand that it might not be complying with WP:GNG if you look solely on her Deaflympic career. Abishe (talk) 02:51, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
