American trampolinist

[edit]

I recently read an article from Trampoline Pundit. The article was about American trampolinist Charlotte Drury. She became best friends with fellow American gymnasts McKayla Maroney and Kyla Ross. Drury was born on June 4, 1996. Her gymnastics club is World Elite Gymnastics. Are there any more sources out there that would help with doing an article about her?158.222.166.199 (talk) 07:04, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A convenient means of finding sources is by using the template: {{find sources}}, which in your case results in:
Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL
I hope this helps, —E:71.20.250.51 (talk) 19:05, 7 September 2014 (UTC) — However...[reply]
...A cursory check suggests that it will be difficult to establish "notability" in the Wikipedia-sense; please see: Wikipedia:Notability (sports) before spending too much effort writing an article that is likely to be rejected. ~Sorry 'bout that, —E:71.20.250.51 (talk) 19:31, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Would these [1] [2] help a little bit? How tall is she?158.222.166.199 (talk) 07:39, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Those sources would be useful for adding factual information to an article, but would not satisfy "...significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." — You could create an account and then create a Userspace draft and submit it for review. Please first see Wikipedia: Your first article. Also, consider visiting Wikipedia: Teahouse, "a friendly place" for new editors.   —E:71.20.250.51 (talk) 19:29, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
