I am the one who runs www.brileycasanova.com. I wrote the biography myself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gymstyle (talk • contribs) 21:40, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

Does Miss Casanova meet the notability guideline of WP:ATHLETE? The current article text says she's a member of the WOGA and the Junior US National Team. Does that satisfy the guideline, "highest amateur level of a sport"? --A More Perfect Onion (talk) 12:47, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
