| Submission declined on 27 July 2024 by DoubleGrazing (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 for sports persons and athletes). 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 does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

Comment: @DoubleGrazing: I added a source from the Fairfax Times. Do you think that adds up for GNG with the WJLA piece? BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:25, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: There is no special notability guideline for fencers, so the general WP:GNG applies. That requires significant coverage of the subject in multiple secondary sources that are both reliable and independent of the subject. This draft cites mostly primary and/or non-independent sources. The possible exception is the ABC piece, but that alone isn't enough.I suggest waiting to see how she does at the Olympics, as that may generate more secondary coverage.

- Comment: This is written in an extremely promotional tone, and will most likely be declined unless that is fixed. An encyclopedia article should be written with just the facts, with straight-forward language. -- NotCharizard 🗨 10:22, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Hadley Husisian is an American epee fencer. Currently, she competes for Princeton University, where she has earned All-American honors and the Ivy League Women's Épée Championship.[1] Husisian is also a member of Team USA and has qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.[2]
Career
editHadley Husisian began fencing at the age of ten, inspired by a character on the TV show "iCarly" who participated in the sport.[3] This portrayal sparked her interest in fencing, leading her to pursue it more seriously, getting involved with fencing clubs in the DMV area.[4] With support from her parents, Husisian dedicated significant time to training, often up to 30 hours each week. Coached by Guillermo Madrigal, she had success in the cadet division (under-17), winning three national gold medals and a silver. These achievements helped her secure a spot on the U.S. Junior National Team.[5] She became the Junior Women's Épée World Champion in 2022, marking her as the first American to win this title since 2008.[6]
Husisian competed in college at Princeton University, where she received All-American honors, finished third at the 2023 NCAA Championships and won the Ivy League Women's Épée Championship. She was selected to compete at the 2024 Summer Olympics.[7][8]
Personal life
editBeyond her achievements in fencing, Hadley Husisian is involved in charitable activities and community service. She started a "Ton of Food" drive, which successfully collected 6,271 pounds of food and over a thousand dollars in monetary donations. Husisian promoted the drive by distributing flyers in local neighborhoods and arranging contactless pickups, with a goal to reach ten tons of donations.[9]
