Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Frances M. Vega
Since the discussion was relisted, additional independent and reliable sources have been added, including a 2004 ''Los Angeles Times'' article that provides biographical information (which supports notability per ) and is more than a standard notice of fallen soldiers, of which there are many, and typically are simply lists of names and sometimes brief information about the circumstances of their death; an additional ''Chicago Tribune'' source with another expert, in addition to the one already included in the article, commenting on the significance of Vega and the service of her fellow female soldiers during the Iraq war; a 2003 article from ''El Nuevo Herald'' identifying Vega as one of four Puerto Rican soldiers, which is also different than a standard notice. Before the discussion was relisted, a book source was added to the article that found Vega worthy of notice as the first female soldier of Puerto Rican descent to have died in a war zone. All of these newly-added sources appear to add further objective support for  notability, because this is not trivial coverage and "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability." The assertion is made in the lede because multiple independent and reliable sources make this assertion; it is not . In addition, it is not the only assertion of notability, due to the significant honors Vega has also received from the military, per , that are distinct from her fellow soldiers
