No evidence of multiple, non-trivial coverage to satisfy WP:N. The closest that this article gets to claiming notability is by saying "Whether she was one of the first African American women to join the Women's Army Corps (WAC) is uncertain", but this speculation is not at all supported by the reference. PROD declined on the basis that "if she was first black woman to join army she is notable", but this is not claimed by the source, let alone demonstrated. Considering that the article mentions that "In the Army of the 1940s, African American enlisted women served in segregated units; lived, ate and played in segregated facilities; and trained in segregated classes", it is unlikely that she was the first - certainly that would have been brought up, or at least suggested, if she were.

 * Delete: I found a few hits, but not enough to pass WP:GNG in my opinion. Doesn't meet WP:MILPEOPLE, either. — AustralianRupert (talk) 11:18, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
