Carla Howell
Is this a case of vanity, or notability? Carla Howell, like countless thousands of others around the world, ran for public office and failed. She helped field a ballot measure, which also failed. Is Wikipedia a better place by the inclusion of this article? Why or why not? Discuss amongst yourselves. GRider\talk 19:09, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep This one stretches the bounds of notability a bit, but I think she still makes the cut, as the "repeal the income tax" initiative she proposed was reasonably noteworthy for the state of massachusetts (will likely still be discussed in 50 years), she's still active as a libertarian activist, and she'll have a new Political Action Comittee starting up this year. On the other hand, the article for "Michael Cloud", who is in the same general category should possibly be put up for a vote. Eggplant Wizard 20:35, 17 Feb 2005

 * Keep This should not even be a consideration. Agree or disagree with her views, she is an important player in politics.
