Seems to have an article mostly because she came into office as mayor right after Sarah Palin. Most coverage is related to her (tenuous) relationship to Palin and a local scandal that did not receive widespread attention. One of several pages created using Sarah Palin as a coatrack. Beeblebrox (talk) 02:55, 22 March 2009 (UTC) Nom Withdrawn Clearly, we have a WP:SNOW situation here, and honestly I had not noticed when I nominated this that it had already been here once, and had closed as a clear keep.

 * Keep seems to meet WP:POLITICIAN ("Generally speaking, mayors are likely to meet this criterion") and the Sarah Palin connection and national talk show appearance help counterbalance the smallness of the town. This is a good time to use the WP:NOTPAPER reasoning and retain info. on a local political figure who entered into local, state, and national news for a time and might well be the subject of a search for info.

 * Keep The subject passes WP:POLITICIAN. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 18:59, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - Mayor of a city of roughly 10,000 people (2007 estimate) is significant and passes the letter of WP:POLITICIAN. I also recall her being interviewed on The Daily Show. --Oakshade (talk) 22:04, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - notable in her own right, per WP:POLITICIAN. Also has unusual (for a mayor) international notability, even if Palin was the springboard to this. Two more refs added. MuffledThud (talk) 06:58, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep lots of coverage, easily passes WP:POLITICIAN. Vartanza (talk) 07:09, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
