Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Janie Settles Johnson
Very good comments on both side of this argument. I did find the article was well written, a bit  like, maybe.  Johnson's accomplishments derive from small town USA with the claim of "arguably" being the 1st black female fire/rescue in North Carolina.  If Johnson is the 1st black female to become a fire/rescue chief this would be worth of notability.  The significant discovery here is being the 1st to do so.  Wikipedia is in the business of capturing 1sts. I say keep the article until such time someone can show that a fire/rescue black female existed prior to Johnson.  My 2 cents
