Draft:Valerie Glozman

  • Comment: Nothing has changed in this draft since the last decline. Jerusalem Post coverage is very good and in-depth, but the rest are passing mentions, stats or match summaries. King-5 reference looks decent, but it's mostly quotes from Valerie and her coach. Still a case of WP:TOOSOON, but seems like we'll hear more about her in the future.

  • Comment: Non-notable tennis player who fails to meet WP:GNG and WP:NTENNIS. May be a case of WP:TOOSOON as there are no notable achievements on the professional tour just yet. Adamtt9 (talk) 00:34, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Not an issue of NTENNIS. But the article meets GNG. Which cares not whether there are notable achievements on the professional tour just yet. All it cares is whether the topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Which, as the refs reflect, this article has.2603:7000:2101:AA00:D9C9:C267:26FE:21AA (talk) 21:20, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
