WP:BLP: "Given their potential impact on biography subjects' lives,
biographies must be balanced and fair to their subjects..." regardless
of what the media chooses to focus on. Clearly the article should
mention the relief of command and the circumstances around it
(apparently she had a tendency to swear at people), but it shouldn't
constitute the major focus of her biography.

Is that an edit of the article, or a whitewashing of the article?
It turns out that she is most notable for the relief of command, and
the blanket removal of material from the article is not adhering to
WP:UNDUE, but seems more to be a whitewashing of the article.
What you have done is removed any context of the dismissal from the
article, and that is not a good thing.

Seems like another 1E candidate. The over-emphasis on the controversy at
the end of her career can be addressed by wiping out most of the detail, or
by removing the article entirely (since the notability argument is somewhat
fragile, and all the references about the subject relate to her dismissal).
Coincidentally, others thought that too! :) It was taken to AfD and the
MilHist project determined she was notable based on her being the first
woman to command the ship type. :) If you want to try that Nathan, you can
but your efforts and the efforts of other men like Andreas are probably
better spent improving the article about her to remove this material. I
eagerly anticipate y'all working together on this article as you've both
identified it needs work. :)
