Don't think this person is really notable, besides the one event mentioned in the article Gbawden (talk) 08:54, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

*Keep It took me very little time to find an article on her in the LA Times as shown here, and other news sources also seem to cover her more than trivially. My concern, however, is that she only has notoriety for this single incident. Worse, the article as it stands reads like a blow-by-blow account of a legal fight, not an article about the subject. If I could make the original author re-write the piece according to Wikipedia guidelines for such articles, I would do so. But I can't, and I am not interested in rewriting it myself. So understand that my "keep" vote is based only on the technicality that she appears to have gotten the necessary news coverage. As a Wikipedia article, however, it needs a good deal of brushing up.

 * Comment: I've cleaned the article up some, but really- she's only known for the one incident. Other than some fairly light coverage in 2003, she hasn't been in the news since. I haven't been able to find anything that followed up the incident, as some sources were saying that she still faced some military legal repercussions but I can't see where anything else happened. There might be merit in making a page entitled List of US military who went AWOL or similar, as cases like these do gain media attention and could be used to help write about AWOL and the US military or something along those lines. I'm not terribly into writing articles about those sort of things, so I wouldn't know where to begin with that, but I can see where a list of notable AWOL soldiers (by country) would be a potentially good page.
