Non-notable Greek/American soccer player. A bit difficult to search for as she is overshadowed by the 2000-born USA player.

Keep per
WP:BASIC and
WP:HEY. One biographical article focused on Sophia Smith,
"Cornell grad plays for Greece" in Ithaca Journal.
One paragraph in USA Today discussing her jersey and her awkward role as an American of Greek ancestry on the Greek national women's team at the 2004 Athens Olympics. Another paragraph on her status as a local soccer player playing internationally in the
Houston Chronicle. In addition, during her college years (particularly her junior year), her match performance as the leading scorer on the team was regularly covered in Ithaca Journal. Per WP:BASIC, it's just enough. (Also...per her LinkedIn profile, she now works as legal counsel for FIFA in Zürich, but without coverage in reliable secondary sources, we'll just leave that aspect of her career for now.)

Keep: the coverage here is not
WP:ROUTINE, which would be e.g. inclusion of her name on a team list in a match report: there are multiple articles already cited covering her specifically, either as an individual or within a small group, so
WP:GNG is passed.
