Comment while Alexandra Walker may not qualify as notable, I'm puzzled by the nomination statement that

Struck my comment accordingly. I had mistakenly thought that she worked for the Prep School rather than Millfield itself. I would still argue that the article in question is more about Millfield than about Walker and doesn't contain any significant coverage or other indication of notability that would justify a stand-alone article for Walker.

Sadly I think @Spiderone is right about Walker, and delete is correct. She falls into that unfortunate category of sportspeople who, while a million times better at their sport than the rest of us, and while no doubt doing much good in their career, just isn't in the tiny pantheon of the truly notable.

I consider myself to be a good tennis player but would admit that Walker would probably double bagel me without breaking a sweat. Tennis is one of those sports where only a very, very small number of people seem to take up 99% of the coverage. It looks like Walker has spent most of her career playing 10K and 25K events, on a number of occasions not even making it through qualifying for these events. Unfortunately, these events just don't generate the necessary coverage to build a biographical article from. I would love for the average tennis player to get as much coverage as the average footballer but, unfortunately, I can't see it happening any time soon. The only thing that would potentially make her notable is if she had strong newspaper coverage but there is nothing in ProQuest or in the British Newspaper Archive that looks good enough.
