The result was Draftify. It can be improved, and probably should not have been nominated so soon, however nor should it have yet been in mainspace. Star Mississippi 00:13, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Failure of WP:GNG. This source cited on article is a primary source, and the other two do not offer significant coverage. Paul Vaurie (talk) 05:58, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

- Lots of photos of her but I could only find one article in an internet search. I think the article could potentially be expanded with the right source search, though. She was apparently the only WUSA player to make an inaugural team without going through the global draft. SportingFlyer T·C 09:50, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

- Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 13:22, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - Plenty of reliable third person sources to support the article's existence. Dwanyewest (talk) 15:41, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Dwanyewest: Can you please point me to those sources? This is not significant coverage, neither is this, this is a stats page, this is largely a primary source, not significant coverage, and this is a primary source from her time as a high school student.

- Draftify, at worst; AfD filed less than four hours after the article was created. Needs a print source review since notable coverage from 1998–2003 might no longer be indexed for search or limited to print-only sources. All-star on a D1 collegiate national semi-finalist in 2001, then started for the winning team in the 2002 US pro D1 national championship, then played in the 2005 US Open Cup semi-finals. Maiden name also complicates search, married name is Brooke O'Hanley Selzer/Brooke Selzer. -Socccc (talk) 18:56, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Keep - Per Dwanyewest. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 13:41, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. Agreed with Paul Vaurie, the sourcing is nowhere close to passing NSPORT. Soccer USA and Sun Journal are passing mentions; the Palo Alto Online source is better, but still contains a lot of primary/non-independent content; the stats page is stats; Portland Pilots is not independent; and the Campanile piece is a local interview from when she was in high school and so fails YOUNGATH. That's not enough to justify an article.

- Draftify: Unable to find any sources which would lead to the subject passing GNG. This article may be able to be improved though with some time in draft space. User:Let'srun 00:54, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
- Comment - the "keep" arguments have not actually proved that the article has sources that help pass GNG— merely stating that it does is not "proof". Paul Vaurie (talk) 08:23, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
