The notability of this decade-old, unsourced BLP is based on the person not having gotten into an auto accident, of being the first woman to hold a specialized category of commercial-grade driver license in the U.S. state of Kansas, and of winning the "Company Equipment Driver of the Year" trophy from an unspecified organization. While all are probably great achievements, the lack of any RS I've been able to locate seems to call the notability of this person into question. Chetsford (talk) 06:36, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

Delete as per the article, she is a non-notable truck driver. Power~enwiki (talk) 07:23, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

Comment I've added sources to the article and she seems to be well-known in the trucking world. I'm leaning Weak Keep for GNG in a niche field. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 00:58, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
Keep withdraw nom and change to "keep" as per improvements by Megalibrarygirl Chetsford (talk) 01:11, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
Keep per establishment of notability within an obscure field, particularly as an individual who established themselves in the pre-Google era; to have sources at all for that time and occupation is impressive. Montanabw^(talk) 05:33, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

Comment I still see no way this person is notable, and still support deletion. Describing her as "pioneering" and "blazed the path for women into another male-dominated occupation" is egregious editorializing. She is a female truck driver. Being the first female truck driver at two small, otherwise not-notable companies isn't a sign of notability. An industry-specific lifetime achievement award isn't a sign of notability. I see no claims that Dora has done anything besides drive a truck. Power~enwiki (talk) 01:58, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
Comment: If an "industry-specific lifetime achievement award isn't a sign of notability," then what do you call the Academy Awards or the Grammys? Montanabw^(talk) 04:39, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
I'm not convinced those "lifetime achievement awards" give notability either; their competitive awards (such as Best Actor) do. Power~enwiki (talk) 05:57, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
