Non-notable figure skater; medal placement at the junior level or bronze/silver medals at the national championships do not meet the requirements of WP:NSKATE. Google search turns up nothing outside of wikis and scoring databases. Previous AFD received zero arguments in favor of keeping this article that cited any evidence of notability.

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Skating, Philippines, and California. Bgsu98 (Talk) 00:53, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: The first two sources already in the article each contain multiple paragraphs of in depth, secondary coverage to meet the WP:GNG. WP:NSKATE does not need to be met when there is WP:SIGCOV present, as there is here. I'd encourage the nom to heed other guidelines besides NSKATE in their nomination statements as it pertains to figure skaters. Let'srun (talk) 21:40, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: The assertion that there is "nothing outside of wikis and scoring databases" is obviously disproven by the sources already in the article, which contain WP:SIGCOV. The age and nationality of the subject tells me that there is definitely offline coverage as well, though this claim cannot be substantiated. JTtheOG (talk) 20:19, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
