Carol Adams (Australian politician)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article was created on the assumption that Carol Adams had won election to the Western Australian Legislative Assembly. She didn't; which calls her notability into question. Bush shep (talk) 13:28, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete I supported its creation at the time (a few days ago) but circumstances have now changed and she hasn't been elected. There's only a few of us watching this one editor-wise. Orderinchaos 13:37, 14 September 2008 (UTC) Keep per subsequent work and sources unearthed by Moondyne. Orderinchaos 05:38, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. There does appear to be some notability as Mayor of Kwinana. This part could be expanded with a passing mention that she unsuccessfully stood for the 2008 state election. It (just) meets WP:POLITICIAN ("Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage. Generally speaking, mayors are likely to meet this criterion"). McWomble (talk) 13:43, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as creator. A mayor is generally notable, as supported by WP:POLITICIAN, and election preselection issues only add to that.  It is normal Afd courtesy to notify the creator, BTW.  Moondyne 14:52, 14 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Very weak keep - given the ABC News article provided by McWomble coupled with her position as mayor. In its current state, the article itself would fail WP:POLITICIAN, and to Moondyne, I would say that your interpretation should be slightly tweaked - it is that mayors are likely to have significant coverage, not mayors are generally notable in themselves. – Toon (talk)  21:44, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thankyou Toon05. I'm comfortable with my wording.  Moondyne 01:19, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. Per WP:POLITICIAN, "mayors are likely to meet this criterion". WWGB (talk) 04:22, 15 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep As above. A mayor with significant coverage. Recurring dreams (talk) 08:56, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, significant coverage, meets WP:N. Lankiveil (speak to me) 11:16, 17 September 2008 (UTC).
