Procedural nomination. It was previously tagged CSD, but does assert some notability. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:24, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep Amateur athlete who has competed at the NCAA level. Google is perhaps misleading as her name isn't unusual, but a search returns over two million results, and the first page at least are relevant to Craig. I see no reason for deletion. faithless (speak) 04:28, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep The article needs a lot of work and seems to have been created primarily on the basis of her husband's recent death, but note as sources [1] [2] just from the first google search page based on her name. Seems to be ample coverage out there. --SesameballTalk 04:31, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. She is the women's collegiate 10,000-meter recordholder:

  • Weak keep Collegiate records are fine, but that doesn't make the holder noteworthy. Competing in college sports is generally not considered enough to get an article. But she does appear to have other articles written about her.Balloonman 07:21, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Notable athlete. Needs to be expanded. - Dougie WII 12:50, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - worthwhile athlete. Guroadrunner 13:20, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - I was the one who fist nominated the article for SD. Owning an NCAA record doesn't automatically make you notable for inclusion in an encyclopedia, and this article seems prompted merely by the fact she is married to someone in the news who died. If anything, just redirect to Ryan Shay. --ZimZalaBim talk 13:32, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. It's not a blowout case, but she seems to be notable enough for inclusion. @ ZimZalaBim: the fact that she's related to someone notable (who died) doesn't raise the bar for her. - Revolving Bugbear (formerly Che Nuevara) 13:53, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep (barely) notable athlete ''[[User:Kitia|Kitia'']] 16:40, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
