No significant coverage found to satisfy WP:GNG. Very little claim to notability based on being the first person from a particular minority to join the Australian Army. Dumelow (talk) 05:38, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:SOLDIER and WP:GNG. The first X ethnicity/nationality-Australian to join the Australian Army is not notable. Mztourist (talk) 07:12, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually on further review, she is the first women of an ethnic ancestry, limited to a particular country (there are also Pakistani Hazara) to join the Australian military. By the very wonding it suggests previously there were Pakistani-Hazara women in the Austrlian military and there were Afghan-Hazara men in the Australian military. If this extremely narrow "first" is enough to justify an article, what is next "first women of Swiss-French descent to join the United States military" and a thousand more?John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:05, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete the first of x ethnicity to join y military is not enough unless we have significant and sustained levels of coverage, which is lacking here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:58, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Hazara Australians. Not enough third-party coverage for its own article but a sentence or two in that article and a redirect is a valid alternative to deletion. Deus et lex (talk) 03:23, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
