Hi and thankyou for your review . I am certain this person Birch is notable under wikipedia guidelines as primarily she is an Australian football league womens professional open player and many of these players are already on wikipedia .eg fellow western bulldogs players

 Ellie Blackburn
 Katie Brennan (c)
 Aasta O'Connor
 Emma Kearney
Jessica Anderson
Deanna Berry

plus all other players from aflw eg club melbourne

 Meg Downie
 Emma Humphries
 Karen Paxman
 Elise O'Dea (vc)
 Daisy Pearce (c)
 Sarah Lampard
 Alyssa Mifsud
 Laura Duryea
 Katherine Smith
 Lily Mithen
 Lauren Pearce 
 Aliesha Newman
 Melissa Hickey (vc)
 Jasmine Grierson
 Shelley Scott
 Harriet Cordner
 Brooke Patterson
 Richelle Cranston
 Ainslie Kemp
Ashleigh Guest
Bianca Jakobsson

would you like me to also delete all other references to Birch as a dual sport eg for example sporting backgorund , other sports ? this is important background information that is covered in all referenced articles but may not meet the primary notability guidlines that her being an alfw player clearly does .I have deleted eg the trans tasman netball info already Her primary notability is based on being an aflw player and there is no doubt of this as referenced and supported . I am happy to make any changes you recommend asap so i can look to write an article for any other western bulldogs player who is not yet on wikipedia for this team and do more articles and keep learning . please note one difference is that some of these players have not also played other sports as well so i can delete this additional info and just refer to the aflw open professional notable activity of birch if you would like and prefer ? rather than that i have been trying to include as much detail as i could to make it a better article for wikipedia . many thanks again for all your help Greg kennedygregb (talk) 22:04, 26 June 2017 (UTC) i have now edited and made several important changes deleting some background information that was not as notable ,Australian rules football[edit source] Shortcut:3.4 from wikipedia guidlines re professional sport AFL Athletes who compete in Australian rules football are presumed notable if they meet any of the criteria below Has appeared in a match of the Australian Football League or AFL Women's.(birch has played all of the only 7 games of this sport Do you think this could now be resubmitted Many thanks kennedygregb (talk) 02:58, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Kennedygregb, my advice is still essentially the same:

remove all unreferenced material
don't present school sports as if they were of any significance – they aren't
identify several independent reliable sources with detailed in-depth coverage of this person, and write a brief clear account of her achievements based on what they say.

COI - Paid PR editing[edit]

This article may have been created and maintained under a paid conflict of interest per Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. I suspect this to be the case given the photos provided under license by Soda Communications, a public relations firm in Birch's hometown Melbourne. If this is the case it must be appropriately declared under the talk page of the user who is responsible and again here in the page itself. Tigerman2612 (talk) 05:13, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Then perhaps it should be moved back to draft space until that is fully cleared up? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:07, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's a strange one since everything has been appropriately referenced. Not sure what the normal procedure would be short of me just cleaning up and re-formatting it.Tigerman2612 (talk) 04:54, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
