Non-notable spouse of former Iowa governor, no independent references currently used. Marcusmax ( speak ) 00:28, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep The article appears to assert notability, and we have other articles on "First Ladies of Iowa". a little   insignificant  01:20, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:N, and half the article is about here husband and family. The only claim to notability directly relating to her is the invite to speak at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. a little   insignificant  01:23, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Redirector Merge to hubby's article. Notability is not inherited. Spouses, siblings, parents, and children of political leaders get lots of derivative press mentions. In my view, that does not amount to notability. If they use the opportunity thus afforded them to do things on their own which make them notable, then they should have their own articles. If they are mentioned in the press merely for being the politician's family member (rather than as, say, an author, a foreign agent, an entrepreneur, an artist, an entertainer or a criminal), then they should similarly be covered only in the politician's article.

 * Delete. Fails notability. Only reason anyone has heard of her is because of her marriage, not because of her achievements. Niteshift36 (talk) 15:07, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Notability is not inherited, no non-trivial sources for her without her husband in the picture. Also there appears to be a lot of these first ladies/gents - List of current United States first spouses with pages of their own. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 05:01, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
