Delete - May hold several age records for the 5k and appear to meet WP:NTRACK point #7, but neither IAAF nor USATF have youth records for the discipline, thus failing the part where the record is "ratified or noted by the appropriate official body." Not enough significant coverage to meet WP:GNG. I wish her well, but this is WP:TOOSOON. — Jkudlick ^tc_s 12:46, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per the lack of significant coverage in reliable sources.

  The article notes:
  
  Also on March 7, Megan Crum set a new 5K world record for 7-year-old girls with an 18:25 clocking at the Run with a PAAL race in South El Monte, Calif. She finished 14th overall and first among female runners in that race, averaging 5:55 per mile. Crum also holds the world 5K mark for 6-year-olds with her 22:18 effort from last July at a race in San Diego.
  Those stellar times from Butler and Crum are part of a growing trend. They’re the latest American youngsters to set world records in road running events from 5K to the half marathon over the past two years.

  The article notes:
  
  The 5K race was dominated by the 16 students from Arroyo Verde High School in San Bernardino, which bussed their entire cross-country team up the mountain to participate. ... And speeding in 4th place was 7-year-old Megan Crum from Lake Elsinore, who was running with her entire family.
There is insufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Megan Crum to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

The sources I found were mostly passing mentions. I anticipate that Megan Crum will become notable if she continues competing and breaking records. However, she currently has not received enough coverage to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, so the article should be deleted.

Delete as per the nom and above editors. Not enough in-depth coverage in independent reliable sources. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 17:26, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
