Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Frances M. Vega
I think per  and , this article should be kept. Per , there are four independent and reliable sources that offer context about the significance of Vega's service and her military career that have been removed from the article. I apologize that my introduction of the expert opinions in the ''Chicago Tribune'' sources was clumsy; these sources both namecheck Vega and add to what was said by the ''Stars and Stripes'' source in the article about the role of women, and I think they both help address the concern raised above, and help support why this article should not go away per . I also think the significance of the Chinook crash discussed in the ''New York Times'' and ''Los Angeles Times'', which both also namecheck Vega, can be included to improve the article; while it may not weigh heavily towards notability, it adds encyclopedic content. In addition, the focus on Vega being the first female soldier of Puerto Rican descent to have died in a war zone has never been a subjective determination by editors, but something noted by sources, such as the DOD; she also has a main gate of a military base named in her honor with a plaque that highlights more than this fact
