WP:BLP, with a decidedly unencyclopedic advertorial lean to the writing tone, of a person notable only as a local radio personality (on a low-power radio station with a niche format, no less) and as yet non-winning candidate in a mayoral election. As always, neither of these is an article-clinching notability claim in and of itself — radio personalities need to have a national audience, not just a local one, to be presumed notable as broadcasters, and politicians have to win the election, not just run in it, to be presumed notable as politicians. But the references here are not demonstrating that she passes WP:GNG as the subject of media coverage: there's a lot of primary sourcing, such as press releases from her own company and staff profiles and pieces of her own writing and her own campaign website, there are WP:CIRCULAR Wikipedia mirrors, there are user-generated genealogies, and on and so forth — but what there isn't, anywhere in this entire overheated reference bomb of 43 citations supporting less than 500 words of content, is even one solitary piece of reliable source coverage about her in a media outlet independent of her own PR bumf. Which means that none of the sourcing here gets her over GNG, and nothing claimed in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to get over GNG — even her family genealogy is not in and of itself a notability freebie in the absence of any reliable source coverage about her, because notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. (Note: first AFD discussion was about the same person, but was conducted a full decade ago and claimed notability for purely genealogical reasons without mentioning anything about radio or politics at all, so I'm not comfortable speedying this as a recreation of deleted content. The notability claim here still isn't a good one by any stretch, but it is a different one than the first attempt.) Bearcat (talk) 16:39, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - not nearly enough in-depth coverage from independent reliable sources to show they pass WP:GNG. And certainly doesn't pass either WP:ENT or WP:NPOL.  Onel 5969  TT me 23:47, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Sorry, I run searches on several known mirrors and landed on that train-wreck of an article. As a BLP, I've gone through and removed the obvious mirrors/blogs and the material sourced to them. I hate to do that with an active AFD but it is still a BLP, and some of that could have been politically derogatory. What's left isn't much. Seems to be a "radio host" and a fringe candidate for the mayor of Phoenix. Could not locate much in the line of RS to support any of that. As noted, mostly just primary sources and junk.
