While McCaffrey's achievements seed laudable, this seems to be WP:ONEEVENT. DOCUMENT★ERROR 03:32, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. This page was mistakenly placed at the wrong title. If it is kept, it should be moved to Kerri McCaffrey which is currently a redirect to here. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:09, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep (and rename) - we typically keep articles about people who are notable for being the first of something. I'm not sure if this qualifies, and the sourcing is weak. Perhaps there's some article we could merge to instead. Ivanvector (talk) 15:43, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

By "not sure if this qualifies", I mean that being the first person to undergo gender reassignment and not lose their job is (regrettably) notable, however I'm not sure that the first transgender teacher in a state is as notable. But sources seem to indicate that she is, and it looks like she is also a published author and public speaker on the subject. This is strong evidence of notability.

• Delete This is a classic case of one event. Wikipedia is not a records manual or list of firsts.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:10, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. The news stories on this event all seem to all be contemporaneous with it, so we don't have evidence of longer-term significance needed to save this from BIO1E. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:56, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as obvious consensus is against me here, but first move to Kerri McCaffrey over the redirect, so that if someone comes along and decides to create an article about her in the future, the history is easy to find. Ivanvector (talk) 13:33, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
