No evidence of any notability. Despite some ambitious claims, searches yield nothing to support the claims. A search for the Curtis Cup team 1968 yields this] which suggests Vivien Saunders was NOT in the team. This may all be a fiction to raise a profile to sell books. Nothing here gets close to WP:GNG Velella ^{Velella Talk} 21:00, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep I have added two references for wining the British Open in 1977 which means that she meets WP:ANYBIO. --Rogerx2 (talk) 21:34, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - the reference quoted includes a statement given by Vivien Saunders. The article is unclear whether the reporter attests to her reputation or whether this was something she said. Such a success would surely have easily-found robust sources, but I have been unable to find them Velella ^{Velella Talk} 21:58, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry Velella did you check the two references I had already added at the time of your comment? one of them was a book citing the winner of the British open sorted by years. I found many more references citing it but I thought two should be enough! --Rogerx2 (talk) 14:31, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I will improve the article. --Rogerx2 (talk) 21:36, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - the BBC believes she founded the Women's PGA and won the Women's Open. If it's just a ruse to sell books, she's pulled a very fast one on the BBC. (And every news organization that comes up when you click on the "news" link above.) The article needs clean up, but not deletion.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 23:40, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also added source showing she was one of the first winners of the Women's British Open.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 03:29, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Clear Keep - Satisfies WP:NGOLF. Category 1: Competed in Curtis Cup. Category 3: Won Women's British Open. Category 5: Probably, need to check. Category 6: Played on the LPGA Tour. One of the leading British lady golfers of her era. Just because there's little about Women's golf on the internet is no reason to exclude her. Nigej (talk) 07:25, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn - I remain unconvinced by the Bundy reference - it looks like a vanity publication - but the Ricoh link recovered from the archive looks to be sufficient Velella ^{Velella Talk} 07:28, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, Poor article. Typical home-spun version which needs a lot of tidying up. Nigej (talk) 07:33, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
