As a soccer player, she is close to zero in terms of notability. I could not find a single GNG-qualified source about her soccer career to establish her notability. However, it seems that she has received coverage as a Los Angeles County firefighter. She is better known for being a firefighter than a soccer player, yet the article is about her being a soccer player. The next point I want to make is that she is not notable as a firefighter either. Being interviewed a couple of times due to being a female firefighter does not make her pass GNG. She has received coverage for being "one of 79 female firefighters in Los Angeles" here, here, and here. Not everyone interviewed by CNN (which is what I think most of the coverage stems from since it's the oldest interview I could find) becomes notable because of that.

Weak keep Seems to have gotten some attention as a firefighter after retiring from soccer. WBUR in the article and this [1] seem to be enough for GNG. Oaktree b (talk) 18:54, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Does the attention as a firefighter really make her notable, though? I'm not so sure. Paul Vaurie (talk) 04:20, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, Regan passes WP:GNG as a firefighter. While Wake Forest Magazine is an Alumni newspaper for the relatively small Wake Forest University and is therefore probably not reliable, the combination of the WBUR piece and the CNN Business article, which has a lot of original content and doesn't really qualify as an interview in my view, is enough to showcase notability.

Keep per WNUR/CNN sources which show notability. Giant Snowman 13:30, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Per above. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 15:53, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. In addition to the above and cited sources, she's also featured for both her professional soccer and firefighting careers in a section of the book Under the Lights and In the Dark: Untold Stories of Women's Soccer by Gwendolyn Oxenham (pps. 228–230). -75.164.167.40 (talk) 17:27, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
