No evidence of any notability. Not a single independent source and searches only reveal the usual crop of social media, YouTube etc but does include mentions by Cycling web-sites, Garmin etc but these all seem to be promotional/ sponsorship connections. The article has not been helped by relentless COI editing but even in its stripped down state, there is nothing here that gets close to WP:GNG Velella Velella Talk 22:02, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

*Delete I found the GNG, she plays the lead role in some movie that was a bit popular. No justification for all this though.

- Keep The article as it stands now does present as not notable, but there do appear to be reliable sources which talk about her as a known athlete: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. There is enough in-depth coverage in reliable sources to show that this woman is notable. What has happened is that the sources used so far have simply been from her own website, which gives the wrong impression. SilkTork ( talk) 10:32, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
- Keep it's a niche sport, and some of the news coverage brought by SilkTork is in niche/special interest publications, but it is SIGCOV and I can see mainstream coverage including [Endurance athlete's unique source of income, Ruibal, Sal. USA TODAY; McLean, Va. [McLean, Va]21 Sep 2010: C.3. "Rebecca Rusch is one of the world's best endurance athletes, a three-time World 24-hour solo mountain bike race champion and the recent winner of the infamously difficult Leadville Trail 100 race, a feat she accomplished in record-breaking time. ... Thanks to a compensation formula introduced by her HuckNRoll.com adventure sports team, Rusch can add her social-media skills as a source of income... Under the HuckNRoll.com plan, its top athletes get a salary that is augmented by payments for their skill at getting fans to read their media offerings and also make purchases from the HuckNRoll.com retail website. "My career is absolutely a business and I have a degree in marketing," says Rusch, who is also sponsored by Specialized Bicycles. "There is more to my job than just training and racing. I am constantly looking for opportunities for myself and my sponsors to increase exposure and value."") and additional INDEPTH I can see in new archive searches.

- Keep - Well done to SilkTork for finding significant coverage. This article definitely needs gutted and rewritten, but at least there's something. I'll tag it for some repairs and copy SilkTork's sources to the talk page as can be used to improve the article, but it looks to be a subject worth covering.
