  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria says:

    People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.

    • If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.
    1. "Tenpin Bowling: Yeung gives perfect reply". South China Morning Post. 1988-09-12. p. 37. ProQuest  1538686460.

      The article notes: "Banned kegler Melody Yeung dealt the Hongkong Ten-ping Bowling Congress (HKTBC) a slap in the face when she won the AMF World Cup selection competition at Kwai Fong Bowling Centre yesterday. The HKTBC banned Yeung and fellow national team member Norideen Kitchell from all international competitions, so it is unlikely that the Asian Amateur Championships' gold medalist will be flying Hongkong's flag in the finals in Mexico. ... Yeung was banned until the end of next year for accepting a television station's interview without informing HKTBC officials ... Yesterday, Yeung again proved she is the best woman bowler in the territory with a nine-game score of 1,862, including a 120 points bonus, to earn the top seed position for the step-ladder final."

Yeung who earlier in the month came sixth in the World Cup in Kuala Lumpur, saw off second-seeded Carmen Tang in the final by 215 pins to 205. ... but Yeung, who had scored an impressive 2,263 total after six rounds, kept her form to lift the coveted trophy."

    4. Lakey, Chris (1988-08-11). "Bowling: National trio lose appeals". South China Morning Post. p. 30. ProQuest  1538659356.

      The article notes: "Hongkong's top woman player Melody Yeung, who captured a gold medal at the Asian tournament, was suspended until the end of 1989 for accepting media interviews without official consent following her singles victory. ... But Yeung and Cheung are not as lucky because they have been told that they cannot bowl at the Singapore International Open Championships or the Star Open in Bangkok this month. Yeung was scheduled to play in both tournaments ... The two, however, have indicated they will go ahead with their trips, although they cannot bowl."

      The article notes: "Melody Yeung Ka-ling yesterday kept alive Hong Kong's hopes of winning a medal at tenpin bowling when she finished in fourth place at the end of the first eight games of the women's Masters competition. ... Melody is the only Hong Kong competitor in the women's event to qualify for the Masters, by virtue of finishing among the top 16 bowlers after the total scores of each bowler in the singles, doubles, trios and fives had been added up. In other words, consistency is what matters, and so far Melody has been consistent, even if she has nothing to show for her efforts."

Yeung claimed 1,132 pins in her six games and was well satisfied with her display. The Hongkong bowler said she found the conditions in the alley extremely hot."
