So, let me start this AfD by saying I was on the fence about submitting it because I think the notability of this subject is probably close to borderline, and I know some people might get riled up by a deletion. That said, looking at this article I can't see how the subject passes WP:SOLDIER or WP:BLP1E. There may be a WP:GNG argument for keep, but I'm submitting this AfD to test that. Additionally, the existence of this article would probably fall afoul of WP:NOTMEMORIAL. NickCT (talk) 18:38, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep Passes WP:GNG. That she has a biography published means that is ample material to create an article from. Having songs written about her and a school and a ship named after her means that people will have a reason to look up her name for years to come, and the article will not be orphaned.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep I have no doubt that the nominator Is acting in well-informed good faith. However, I believe that having an article about the first female soldier killed in combat from an important country like Canada is something that an encyclopedia of almost 4.7 miillion articles ought to have. I agree with that if even marginally notable things are named after her, then it is appropriate to have a biography of her. There can be no doubt that reliable sources are available.
