@Slashme: What needs cited? That citation covers everything in the article. Kees08 (talk) 01:48, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Kees08: Please read the notability guideline for sports. Any article on Wikipedia must eventually satisfy the general notability guideline: it must have:
  • Multiple references to sources:
    • which are independent of the subject
    • which are reliable and have editorial oversight and
    • which discuss the subject of the article in depth.
Currently this article has one reference which just lists the participants in a competition. That is not good enough. --Slashme (talk) 08:43, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
She meets the notability guidelines for gymnastics, so she is notable. Besides, I do not think that is the right tag to use, all of the information in the article is cited. Kees08 (talk) 14:20, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that an article meets the notability guidelines doesn't prove that the subject is notable. It simply says that we presume that the topic is notable. That means, we expect that because someone was in the Olympics, there will probably be references that can be found to support the article, and we shouldn't just delete it. That doesn't exempt the article from the GNG. And the template is perfectly relevant. The article needs proper citations to multiple, independent, reliable sources that discuss the subject in depth. If such sources can't be found, the article can eventually be deleted, whether or not it meets the subject notability guideline. --Slashme (talk) 13:55, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
