Both German Frauen Bundesliga and the Dutch Eredivisie are categorised as "not fully professional" by
WP:FPL. She has not played a competitive international from the senior national team. So, she fails
WP:NFOOTY. No sign that she passes
WP:GNG. (

Comment Yes she fails NFooty, but from what I can see on a google search it might be possible she does pass GNG, there is certainly fair coverage once you get past the profiles.

Keep per more than impressive coverage. Also, I believe we should consider adding the Frauen Bundesliga and Eredivisie Vrouwen to the leagues whose players are held notable. We cannot change the rules after the nomination yet support could be tested during this discussion before being discussed in the correct forum.

Comment Women's division players should be notable when their male equivalent is notable.

"Should be notable" but are they? We're descriptive, not prescriptive. In some countries women may play more of another team sport, in others the leagues just will not get much pay and coverage regardless. The Daily Show has addressed this inequality at the US national team level.
[1][2] Right now only for the US and UK women's leagues the players are held notable. I would initially submit four more: France, Germany, Netherlands, and Sweden. If successful, we'd triple and see where to take it next. As more people join in a demand to "keep" this article
based on facts, we may have something to show.

Keep - Article about semi-pro footballer who appears to be the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources.
Lübecker Nachrichten (a regional newspaper for
Schleswig-Holstein) has in-depth coverage (e.g.,
[3]). I think there is enough other coverage (none of which is as in-depth) such as
[4] to conclude
WP:GNG is met. Perhaps we risk
WP:TOOSOON, but I think there is just enough to flesh this out.

Delete: Fails
WP:GNG and
WP:NFOOTY. Again, a little coverage doesn't make the player pass GNG. If we want to argue that these leagues are where the women are automatically notable then the case needs to be made at
WP:FPL. --

Keep, looking at the sources brought up by Jogurney, I am convinced that this person passes
WP:GNG, even though they fail NFOOTY.

Keep she has also played in the Champions League as well as Twente.

Keep per
WP:GNG.
WP:FPL still a heavily biased essay "managed" by a handful of self-appointed editors.

FPL is but a list of verifiable information, so I do not know how it can be biased or how the number of editors managing it is relevant to its legitimacy. It has no further purpose than to help quickly check whether someone meets NFOOTY, the notability guideline of relevance here. Regards! Usedtobecool☎️ 10:42, 6 October 2020 (UTC)reply
KeepWP:NFOOTY says nothing about "fully professional". She meets requirements of
WP:GNG regardless.

Keep - fails NFOOTY but meets GNG as per sources highlighted by others; significant coverage
