  • Delete WP:NHOOPS is silent on national team play. WP:NSPORTS addresses playing at the Olympics and I personally would accept the World Championships/World Cup as equivalent to that. However, from looking at the profiles provided, her national team play is limited to one appearance for a few minutes in a 2013 EuroBasket Women qualification match. There may be more, but the Bulgaria women's national basketball team page shows they have not qualified for Eurobasket Women since she was 2 years old. So even if one argues that EuroBasket Women is significant (a reasonable argument considering the worldwide appeal of basketball), I don't think it that applies for a qualification match (especially if its just a few minutes of one match). Since the sources are just profiles, nothing has been shown that she is notable. Therefore, delete. RonSigPi (talk) 23:08, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@RonSigPi:, it's not only about the national team. She is notable by playing for an Italian team (where basketball is on a higher level than in Bulgary) in the highest division Serie A1 (women's basketball). And here a non-profile reference.

I understand that, but WP:NHOOPS does not include the woman's Italian League either. WP:NHOOPS was recently modified to intentionally make the list of leagues closed - if a subject has not appeared in a game from one of those leagues, then sources have to be found and we do not presume that sources exist. The woman's Italian league may well be at a higher level than the Bulgarian league, but neither are leagues that generate enough coverage to presume notability. Also, regarding the eurobasket.com reference, it is an entry from a giant database. No different than basketball-reference.com. I have no problems accepting that what is included is true, but its basically raw data with a short intro. RonSigPi (talk) 22:21, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
