  • Weak Keep If it's true that she is in the top 15 all-time for scoring as one user said on the talk page, I think she deserves a stub. AdamBiswanger1 13:50, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep 3-time All-American attests to notability. --DarkAudit 14:06, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete - University basketball players clearly fail WP:BIO. Since Basketball is a professional sport then university players are at too low a level. New guidelines for athletes are being considered and no-one has suggested that amateur players in professional sports should be included. If she is included then amateur soccer players, cricketers etc who have done well at University also must be in there. BlueValour 15:51, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Uh, women's basketball wasn't a professional sport in 1985, and she was probably 40 when the WNBA was started in 1997, so your entire argument is invalid. No offense. -- Kicking222 20:32, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep most college athletes ought not be retained. This one is a distringuished college athlete and fits w/in WP:BIO definition. - CrazyRussian talk/email 16:38, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Distinguished amateur athlete. youngamerican (ahoy-hoy) 17:00, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep Absolutely notable as not just an athlete in a major sport at a major college in that sport, but as a particularly good athlete, as well. -- Kicking222 20:32, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep along the lines of AdamBiswanger1 and CrazyRussian. HumbleGod 00:50, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
