Delete was tagged speedy, but there is a hint of claim to notability here. First, some people have expressed an opinion that all Ph.D.'s are notable, a notion I disagree with strongly, but if that view prevails, God willing, I'll finally be notable. Second, the claim that "She graduated the first black female engineering graduate from the United States Coast Guard Academy with a Bachelor’s of Science in Civil Engineering in 2000." Which claim is a nice combination of female + race + particular degree + major + school, which is sufficiently contrived to make 1000s of people notable the same way. Again, me too, as the first gay Latino getting a Ph.D. in my discipline at my school. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 21:24, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete not notable; but the claim is undoubtedly not intended as being  "the first black female engineering graduate from the United States Coast Guard Academy with a Bachelor’s of Science in Civil Engineering in 2000" but as being, in 2000, the first .....  If she had been their first black female graduate, regardless of program, then there just might have been enough publicity to pass WP:BIO.  Considering it a a resume, it isnt even clear at that.

I do not think that this should be deleted. The bio is certainly notable. If the Coast Guard Academy graduated their first black female engineer in 2000, it is notable. I also noted that several reporter wrote on the topic of her being the first for her country to graduate from the academy. There is no contact info so I do not consider it a resume. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Klyttlecamp (talk • contribs) 00:20, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * the article does not claim that. Civil engineering is just one of the engineering degrees they offer. DGG (talk) 00:36, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
