routine news item, BIO:ONEEVENT. The first woman pilot in the Nigerian Air Force (Blessing Liman) might possibly be notable, or the first woman officer, but going beyond this into various ranks is getting indiscriminate. DGG ( talk ) 00:27, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom, fails WP:SOLDIER and WP:GNG. Mztourist (talk) 05:52, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. The first woman to be promoted to the most senior NCO rank in a service is certainly notable. I don't think there would be any question of keeping her if she served in the air forces of the UK, USA, Canada, etc. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:34, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete if the postion is not inhernetly notable we need lots of coverage to show notability, not just hand waving that they are the "first x to do y".John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:56, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Clear keep -- going through a glass ceiling in a particular profession is a notable event, and in this case the individual is clearly well covered by the press, Sadads (talk) 22:08, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Per Necrothesp and Sadads; subject meets our notability for inclusion. Kaizenify (talk) 05:48, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
