Fanny Chollet

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Swiss fighter pilot. Known for being the first female fighter pilot of the Swiss Air Force, which (sadly) is a matter of WP:BLP1E. With a rank of 1LT, a WP:SOLDIER pass is still some years away. I've already added a mention at History of the Swiss Air Force, which is the appropriate level of coverage in my view.  Sandstein  18:49, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn. It's clear that other editors don't share my view that being known (only) as the first to do something can be a case of WP:BLP1E, and Lt. Chollet is otherwise quite notable given the amount of coverage she has received.  Sandstein   14:08, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. The first female fighter pilot in a country's air force is certainly notable. To claim this falls under BLP1E is ridiculous. This is a milestone, not a single event. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:45, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * +1 Keep. Same like Necrothesp said: "The first female fighter pilot in a country's air force is certainly notable". Also we have since a few days more in the web Blick Newspaper,Aargauer Zeitung,, and in the "Tagi" one of the big ones of the swiss newspaper .. and also The Swiss Federal TV "SRF"TV News Report "Tagesschau".

 * Keep being the first female fighter pilot in the Swiss Air Force is most certainly notable. Seems to tie in with the WP:Women in Red project. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 06:20, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep very surprised with proposition of deletion. Whatever happens she stills the first Swiss female fighter pilot in the Swiss Air Force. As a comparison see Caroline_Aigle (First French female in the French Air force piloting jets), see Claire_Merouze (fr) first female pilot on Rafale. Ties in with the Les_sans_pagEs project in Switzerland.Suzy1919 (talk) 10:21, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't understand the deletion rationale at all. First female fighter pilot in the Swiss Air Force establishes notability.  Per Suzy1919, there are plenty of precadents that establish this is sufficient for notability. WCM email 12:35, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Meets WP:GNG and WP:BASIC, per Alpha Eco's sources. Ejgreen77 (talk) 18:19, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
