There are no fully professional women soccer league in the World. She plays at the highest level for women's soccer. She earns a professional salary for playing. Her club qualifies for one of the most elite women's soccer club competition in the world i.e. UEFA Women's Champion League. She is extremely notable. She is notable as professional player and a collegiate athlete. She has garnered awards as professional athlete (player of the week in the Dutch league) and two time All American for UC-Irvine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Soccer4015233 (talk • contribs) 23:32, 13 September 2012‎
Delete: You just said it... there is no fully professional league! That is what is needed via NFOOTY and thus she fails (and WP:GNG). --Arsenalkid700 (talk) 12:34, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that there are no fully professional women's leagues means that WP:NFOOTBALL is not an appropriate test of notability for women footballers, not they are automatically unnotable. Phil Bridger (talk) 13:41, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

However, she fails WP:GNG, which does make her non-notable. – Kosm1 fent 13:51, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

But there have been fully-professional women's leagues before (WPS) but now there are none... simples. If you believe that one should be added then go on the talk page and discuss it. Add a note here for a closing admin so he/she wont do anything till the discussion on that league is done. Cheers. --Arsenalkid700 (talk) 20:49, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – no evidence of notability, fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTY. – Kosm1 fent 13:51, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - article is about a soccer player that hasn't played in a fully pro league (obviously, since there are none for female soccer players) or represented her country at senior level, which means that the article fails WP:NFOOTBALL. More important is that the article fails WP:GNG, as there is not enough coverage in reliable sources about her. Mentoz86 (talk) 11:16, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
