Prod tag removed. Fails notability guidelines at WP:NSPORTS. She does not appear to have won a world championship, as suggested in the stub. Ifnord (talk) 01:39, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – More than meets the requirements under WP:SPORTBASIC as shown here with a quick Google News search [1]. ShoesssS ^Talk 19:33, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I note that on the first page of the results you mention, she is mentioned in passing only in all the articles but two. One is for a poetry award for someone else with the same name and the other is a short blurb about her being injured in an automobile accident. WP:SPORTBASIC reads, "A person is presumed to be notable if they have been the subject of multiple published, non-trivial, secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject. The guidelines on this page are intended to reflect the fact that sports figures are likely to meet Wikipedia's basic standards of inclusion if they have, for example, participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level (such as the Olympics)." No where can I find her attending olympic surfing competitions. Ifnord (talk) 23:14, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Ahh…..Surfing will not become part of the Olympic Games until 2020 [2]. On the other hand, as stated in ienteria [3] “…Silva is the top-ranked Brazilian woman on the World Surf League’s Qualifying Series”, and as stated here at Wikipedia “…The World Surf League (WSL)[1] is the governing body for professional surfers and is dedicated to showcasing the world’s best talent in a variety of progressive formats”. Which I believe qualifies as”… participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level” ShoesssS ^Talk 07:29, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - in the top 10 in the world more than once, so meets GNG. MurielMary (talk) 09:44, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
