The just created article does not meet any criteria for notablity. No wins in a $35,000+ ITF tournament, No main draws on the WTA tour, No jr. Slam champion, etc... So unless I missed something this one is just one of countless thousands of ITF tennis players with no notability. Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:53, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and thank you for this note. Last time I checked, a criteria for notability was that the player in question had been ranked in the Top 200. However, as this is no longer relevant, Akiko Omae does seem suitable for deletion. To avoid confusion which may occur around contributions in the future, I will be sure to refresh myself on the notability criteria immediately before creating any new articles.

One that often slips through our eyes is Fed Cup or Davis Cup participation. Those count too and often a low ranked player will make say... the Antarctic Fed Cup team. After posting this I went and double checked and Omae wasn't on the Japanese team. If you feel it's likely she could be soon, then save this article in your user space before it gets deleted, and bring it back if she becomes wiki-notable. Since I notice that this page was already deleted once before it should be speedily deleted this time. Fyunck(click) (talk) 20:54, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete - As others have said, the article can be saved in a userbox for if and when she becomes notable. The notability criteria haven't changed since this article was last deleted. Spiderone 13:38, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
