COI concern

User:Futbolmama, if you're related or otherwise connected to the subject, please read WP:DISCLOSE and use {{Connected contributor}} as it suggests. I raise this concern only because some of the uncited content contains specific details not available in public sources, and your username matches that of Kimball's mother's on LinkedIn and Twitter in whole or part. -Socccc (talk) 20:44, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Content concerns

There are several specific details in the article that aren't necessary to establish notability and lack reliable, independent sources. It would help, not hurt, the article to remove those details if appropriately reliable and independent sources don't exist for them.

There's a particularly dubious unsourced claim that Parlow Cone facilitated Kimball training with the Thorns in 2015. Parlow Cone was coach of the Thorns in 2013 and resigned following the season. Parlow Cone's article suggests she was participating in a Massachusetts-based soccer academy in 2015. Kimball's UNC player profile notes that she trained with the Thorns in the summer of 2013, which would be during Parlow Cone's tenure as coach, but still lacks additional independent or reliable sources.

The sole source I can find for some of Kimball's collegiate injury details is a self-published UNC student journalism assignment. If there's a more reliable published source for those details, it would improve the reliability of those details considerably.

There are conflicts between the article's previous content and published sources on Kimball's height (5'8" in the article vs. 5'6" on her NWSL profile, 5'7" elsewhere); her age when she moved from Utah to NC (age 6 in the article, age 8 in KSL's profile on her virtual training program); her Peru appearances (4 in 2019–20 in the article that aren't sourced or corroboratable in RS/IS sources); and a 92nd appearance for UNC (UNC profile lists 91).

Her appearances for Peru in competitive matches alone establish WP:SPORTCRIT. If there is significant coverage of her Copa América campaign, including non-English-language coverage, that would contribute considerably to the article. -Socccc (talk) 20:58, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
