Submission declined on 24 March 2025 by Timtrent (talk).

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Comment: Please note that:
- Sports Illustrated's 100 Most Influential Women in Sports (2022)
- Forbes 30 Under 30 in Sports
- The Athletic's 40 Under 40: Rising Stars in Women's Basketball (2021)
do not in and of themselves show notability. They are considered to be awards to sell the medium, not to reward the putative recipient
The rest of the draft is WP:ROTM, simply demonstrating thaty Chambers is doing her job. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 21:14, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

Comment: See WP:BLP. Statements, starting with the date of birth, need to be sourced or removed. The personal life section is now entirely unsourced - why did you remove those sources? Greenman (talk) 00:31, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Comment: I have converted the rejection to a decline after a request from Hillaryasher (the original creator of the draft) and a request by Qcne (who has been assisting them). Greenman (talk) 16:50, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Comment: Was already rejected. Greenman (talk) 07:48, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

Comment: Article is full of promo. X of Y e.g. 30 under 30 is a clickbait mechanism and doesn't denoate notability. Rejected 4 times already. scope creep^Talk 21:31, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Comment: None of your sources show notability unfortunately. qcne (talk) 15:46, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
