Deletion
The page exists for reasons that are subjective. Wikipedia does not exist to promote politically correct agendas, and I see no reason why this persons selection as the first female thunderbird should be celebrated with a page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.242.249.69 (talk) 18:52, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The underlying rule is Notability. Should you wish to argue that this individual is not notable, you may submit it for deletion through the WP:AfD process. Regards Buckshot06 (talk) 03:11, 10 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I concur with the original deletion tag. This person has not accomplished anything other than being female.  The page should be deleted. 199.47.100.50 (talk) 00:10, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

The two IP editors have not given valid reasons for deletion, or for restoral of the properly-removed speedy deletion template. This article easily complies with WP:BLPN: the notability of the subject has been established by discussion in multiple independent reliable sources over time. --Lexein (talk) 11:49, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

It's nice to see that some editors are not only hypocrites, they can't follow their own rules with regard to speedy deletion. This article exists for reasons that are politically correct. She is notable only for being female and nothing else. 24.227.146.130 (talk) 02:38, 10 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Anonymous IP user: we're sorry you don't understand our policies and guidelines, such as WP:N, WP:V, WP:RS, as concisely summarized in WP:42, or the WP:speedy deletion process, which, for db-person, "does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source or does not qualify on Wikipedia's notability guidelines.". Perhaps Wikipedia is not the place for you, as there are certainly other wikis. Or, you could always bring it up at WP:AFD, as already suggested, WP:DRN, WP:ANI, or User talk:Jimbo Wales. In the meantime, your fight is not with me, and namecalling any editor gets you, honestly, literally, nowhere. --Lexein (talk) 03:14, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

This page should be removed
The person featured on this page has done nothing of notability. The page should be removed. Please discuss here prior to removing the deletion template, in accordance with wikipedia policy Equitytester (talk) 20:08, 11 October 2012 (UTC)


 * If you want this page to be deleted, you need to send it to AfD. You keep tagging the page for deletion under WP:CSD, which does not apply here, as you have been told numerous times. There is certainly no policy requiring discussion here before removing speedy deletion tags. On the contrary any editor who did not write the article can remove them. Your repeated adding of the tag is disruptive editing. Hut 8.5 20:16, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

This person is not notable. The page should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Big8edits (talk • contribs) 19:01, 14 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Please make an effort to understand and follow our policies and guidelines, such as WP:N, WP:V, WP:RS, as concisely summarized in WP:42, or the WP:Deletion process. Perhaps Wikipedia is not the place for you, as there are certainly other wikis. Or, you could always bring it up at WP:AFD (using proper procedure), WP:DRN, WP:ANI, or User talk:Jimbo Wales as a last resort. Your failure to follow procedure, or provide any actual policy based reason to delete this article, stands only against you, and may lead to being blocked or banned for being WP:DISRUPTIVE. --Lexein (talk) 21:43, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Notability? Not Temporary? Significant Coverage?
I am not an editor, nor do I speak wiki, but I do know irrelevant when I see it. I stumbled across this page during a search for a B-29 Superfortress named "Fifi," and I was astounded that this person merits a wiki article. I was an F-4 pilot in Vietnam, and I have known more than my fair share of fighter pilots notable for far more than flying in fingertip formation for a year or two. If an article about a change of command or shaking hands with women who actually made history is considered proof of continued relevance, I better submit my biography now. --Sammy Small 75.66.126.144 (talk) 00:46, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Really, the Sammy Small? Consensus is that the first female pilot for the Thunderbirds seems to meet notability.  Thanks for your input.  EricSerge (talk) 03:47, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
 * So Eric, where is the Wiki page for Col Jeannie Flynn Leavitt? Does the first USAF female fighter pilot and commander of a fighter wing not rate? --Him, Him...

75.66.126.144 (talk) 06:25, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
 * That could be pretty notable, if there are multiple reliable sources independent of the subject. If you are interested in writing the article check out Articles for Creation or see Your first article.  Cheers.  EricSerge (talk) 03:53, 4 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I agree with Eric. Leavitt is mentioned prominently in 4th_Fighter_Wing. She would need coverage in more sources than af.mil over a period of time, per WP:N and WP:BIO, for her own article, though. None of us think that Leavitt "doesn't rate" - it's not personal at all. Sammy, you are quite welcome to register, and start developing just such an article under your user account, or in Articles for Creation, as Eric mentioned. As you edit, you can request realtime help, too (see WP:IRC). We need more motivated and topic-familiar editors such as yourself to become involved. --Lexein (talk) 22:27, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: While I don't doubt you, one of Wikipedia's core content standards is verifiability, which means that the information in the article must be verifiable through reliable, published sources. Personal conversations don't qualify, unfortunately. Please provide a reliable, published source to support your request and it can be reconsidered. &#8209;&#8209; El Hef  ( Meep? ) 14:41, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I found a reliable source for the correct pilot rank and updated the information. I also made some other additions with info I found while hunting, and fixed some typos. Since you know Colonel Malachowski, for future requests please follow the connected edit request process at WP:COIREQ. TimTempleton (talk)  (cont)  00:25, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Date format
I'm going to change dates to dmy format, which we know the military uses and it seems that would be appropriate here, even though she's an American. You're welcome to revert my edit, but please ping me with your rational. - FlightTime  ( open channel ) 03:23, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
