Justine Kreuk

The sister of a famous person is not famous. RickK 23:14, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Also, a gymnast is not notable until she has won some major competitions. Zzyzx11 | Talk 23:16, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Winning isn't necessarily a prereq for notability. See, for example, Phil Mickelson (this was the case for him for a while), and Anna Kournikova. But I would still vote to delete this article because she hasn't made the 2010 Olympics team, much less participated, won, etc.... (And there isn't a Summer Games in 2010. Which Olympics is this?) Justine herself gets only 59 Google results, a lot of which are repeats and keyword-stuffing incidents. --Idont Havaname 04:05, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep the article as this person's accomplishment is notable for her skill and unique Gymnastic talents.

I am the author of the page. It may seem to be a double standard if my article is to be deleted. I have seen articles on famous people where related obscure people got written about. For example, Britney Spears had a non-famous and obscure man in her life, Kevin Federline, and he was written about in even less detail. Granted Kristin is far less popular than the pop star, but the standard should be the same for every celebrity, yes?

• Comment: The biggest non-speculative claim to notability would be "placed in top finishes in numerous provincial competitions". Kappa 00:07, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Kevin Federline was a dancer before he ever started dating Britney Spears. RickK 22:51, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
• No, the standard should not be the same for every celebrity. Why would they be? Delete. Meelar (talk) 01:28, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: her only verifiable gymnastics result is a second placing in the Open Level II all-around division at the Flicka Gymnastics Club in 2002 [1]. She'll be notable when she gets to Vancouver, not before. --bainer 07:22, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Not a celebrity. Every little girl wants to be a gymnast (or a dancer or some kind of athlete). Get her out of here. When she wins the Olympics, then an article might be appropriate. --Coolcaesar 19:17, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Considering we seem to have an article on every person who has ever participated in the Olympics, I would say she could have an article if she appears in the Olympics, not necessarily wins them. RickK 22:51, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
