No ranking, no titles, and nothing to indicate she meets WP:NSPORTS other than an early round exit at the Commonwealth Games, which, IMO, isn't sufficient. Maybe someday, but not today. Courcelles 21:40, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Delete - She was profiled here. Essentially, injury put her out of tennis for some time. However, at this point, she doe not have the coverage to meet WP:GNG, and her tennis career is insufficient to meet WP:NSPORT. She has no world ranking, and has never won a tournament of sufficient note, or been in the main draw of a major tournament. -- Whpq (talk) 12:43, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
Keep: I'd say competing for your country in the Commonwealth Games constitutes the "similar international competition" that's criterion #2. Ravenswing 17:10, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
- Comment - I'd say that the Commonwealth Games would certainly be the case for other sports, but I am not so convinced it is for something like tennis. -- Whpq (talk) 17:27, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
  - Comment Commonwealth games would make her pass N Tennis as there is a line in there about competing for your country at an international event e.g. davis cup or fed cup, I would guess at MSE's come under that ruling. Good twins (talk) 22:16, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
    - Reply - It does, and I disagree with an assessment that the Commonwealth Games is such an equivalent. -- Whpq (talk) 01:30, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
  - Comment I don't see how the Commonwealth Games would confer notability even in other sports. There is a discrepancy at WP:NSPORTS, which I've just noted on its talk page, but although badminton players are presumed to be notable if they participate in the CG, for gymnastics and triathlon, competitors need to win a medal. Hence, the whole Commonwealth Games argument falls down. St Anselm (talk) 07:05, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
Delete user Saihimesh has created a bunch of articles of non notable tennis players just because they inheriently pass the notablity of tennis project, even though they fail serveral other areas of the notabilty list such as winning a tournament of over 50K or playing in the main draw of a WTA tournamet or playing in the qualies to a GS.

- Stipulating so, so what? AfDs aren't judged on the creator's edit history. They're judged on whether the subjects meet notability and verifiability standards, something you concede this one does above. That being said, errr ... the POINT of the presumptive notability standards of WP:NSPORTS is that if a subject meets any one of the criteria, they are considered notable. Ravenswing 23:07, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
  - Comment - I concur with Ravenswing. Whether this article is kept or deleted depends entirely on the merits of this article, and not the actions of the article's creator. -- Whpq (talk) 01:32, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
Keep per WP:NSPORT#Generally acceptable standards #1 based on her qualification for and participating in Cook Islands at the 2010 Commonwealth Games. WP:NSPORT does not discount someone for representing a small country. Given the number and size of the participating countries for Tennis at the 2010 Commonwealth Games#Participating nations this easily qualifies as a "major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level." --Marc Kupper|talk 20:52, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
- Comment Certainly not! The Commonwealth Games is not the highest level - that would be the Olympics.
Delete. There seems to be a misunderstanding of Wikipedia:Notability (sports) in this discussion. Participation in the Commonwealth Games does not imply notability, except in badminton. There is no other avenue of notability asserted here, so the article should be deleted. St Anselm (talk) 07:07, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
Strong Delete Typed her name into a search engine with no avail, clearly Brittany Teei needs some sources. I found one The Gaea Times article, but it only mentioned her in a game match. She doesn't even have an official website. SwisterTwister (talk) 05:32, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
