Could not find any more significant coverage other than this, and we cannot base her notability on a single source, failing WP:GNG. Paul Vaurie (talk) 16:09, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. Giant Snowman 14:21, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per sources below which show notability. Giant Snowman 07:44, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:GNG and WP:HEY. Article on this notable WUSA professional goalkeeper has been expanded to B-class (per Rater) and is now quite complete so please read it: Melissa Moore (soccer). (Note: Sports biographies from this period (late 1990s/early 2000s) require research beyond basic Google searches, which tend to miss older newspaper and magazine articles.) There are plenty of sources now cited within the article, but the strongest of the lot include the 2002 Los Angeles Times feature article on Moore; the 2001 Washington Post article (three informative paragraphs on Moore plus a quote); the 2002 Soccer Digest article; and the 1994 Albuquerque Tribune feature article on Moore as a college player.

Can't access source 3 but the rest seem fine and willing to AGF for it. Giant Snowman 07:43, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep - impressed by sources that I could not find. They seem to display significant coverage. Keep. Paul Vaurie (talk) 04:18, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
