Keep I just added a couple stronger sources. Geering is notable a professional skateboarder. --Wil540 art (talk) 22:20, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ Weak delete as there is some coverage that could begin a discussion on whether she meets WP:GNG or not. To me, there is still not enough to warrant an article on her. Did not participate in any major international competition, and her positions in national competitions are not sufficient to satisfy WP:SPORTSBASIC. Also fails WP:BASIC due to there being little coverage on her, most being WP:PROMO. Walwal20 ^{talk ▾ contribs} 04:40, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I respectfully disagree. International competition is not a good metric for skateboarding. Please see this article [1] from Vice. Geering is certainly notable in my opinion. --Wil540 art (talk) 15:27, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Wil540 art thanks for the heads up. I updated my vote. International competitions are important to establish WP:NSPORTS, but I see that's not what you mean. You are arguing for WP:GNG here, and I agree up to some extent with you, thanks to the sources you added to the article. However, I'd say there isn't enough coverage to warrant an article on her, although this would change if her appearance on the next olympics was officialized.

Keep Breana Geering is already one of the most prominent female street skaters of her generation. She was the first female rider for Girl (the skateboarding equivalent of signing for Manchester United or the LA Lakers), and she is one of a handful of female skaters to have had a multi-page interview in Thrasher magazine. Thrasher also placed her 6th in their list of the best female and non-binary skaters last year. It's important to remember that notability in skateboarding, like surfing, climbing etc., is often not connected to competitions. I think the article could do with some more sources to establish notability so that this deletion discussion doesn't come up again, but the 6th best female skater in the world (according to skateboarding's premier publication) is certainly notable enough for inclusion.
