Proposed deletion of Alanda Scott

Hello, Melbourne2015. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Alanda Scott, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

1. edit the page
2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. PamD 17:56, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Sorry to propose your first contribution for deletion, but the problem is that there are strict rules as to what constitutes "notability" for sportspeople, and you have not shown that Alanda Scott satisfies any of the criteria. See WP:NTRIATHLON: does she meet any of these? If so, please add this information, with reliable independent sources, to the article. Thanks. PamD 18:06, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
