Non-notable political candidate. Fails WP:POLITICIAN. Gogo Dodo (talk) 23:10, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Not only does she fail our notability guideline for politicians, but the offfice for which she is a candidate is not high enough that she would be presumed notable even if she wins. Cullen328 (talk) 23:53, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep notable corporate executive and candidate for office with significant press coverage such as this one in addition to those in references from a (very) quick search. Obviously, the nominator didn't do much looking for coverage. Letsgocrazytogether (talk) 23:56, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
 * More coverage can be found here from the local daily. Also, articles about debate performance. On her announcement:    Letsgocrazytogether (talk) 23:58, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment Please note that the editor Letsgocrazytogether is the main author of this article and is a new single purpose account whose only contributions are related to this article and the closely related Christopher J. Dumler. Cullen328 (talk) 00:29, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * My first edit was on July 17, 2011. This article has been there since July 6, 2009. Is it a problem that I updated and improved the article? Letsgocrazytogether (talk) 00:34, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I said main author not original author. The article was created by Cynthia Neff as an autobiography Christopher J. Dumler in connection with an unsuccessful earlier political campaign.  You have edited the article heavily in recent days for the apparent purpose of promoting her current political campaign, such as adding the unsourced puffery that she is a "philanthropist".  You are now the primary author of the article, but Neff herself is the original author. Cullen328 (talk) 00:57, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Where do you see Neff listed as the author? Letsgocrazytogether (talk) 01:15, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I apologize as I was wrong. I saw a familiar name as the original article was actually written by Christopher J. Dumler, whose related biography you wrote. Conflict of interest, anyone? Cullen328 (talk) 01:29, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * weak keep Yes, she's certainly local and doesn't pass WP:POLITICIAN, but I feel there's enough coverage to pass WP:GNG. In addition, since she has been involved in multiple elections it does not run afoul of WP:BLP1e.  However the elections are fairly local and not routinely covered by WP, which is why I'm qualifying my view with "weak."  Sailsbystars (talk) 14:34, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep What matters here is that there are multiple reliable sources covering this person for multiple events. I think that indicates her notability. Qrsdogg (talk) 16:57, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:POLITICIAN, being used as a campaign vehicle. 69.181.248.16 (talk) 11:24, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per Cullen328; fails WP:Politician.  Also user:letsgocrazytogether has been BLOCKED as a sockpuppet .  --  Kenatipo    speak! 20:47, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete All sourced parts relate to the upcoming election and the articles don't constitute substantive coverage per WP:GNG imo. Being a candidate for local office and having no prior electoral history does not itself merit inclusion per WP:POLITICIAN either. Hekerui (talk) 14:59, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
