Non-notable political candidate. Morgan Ginsberg (talk) 14:51, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. As a political candidate with no successful elections and with no other activity that garnered significant media attention in independent sources, both WP:NPOL and WP:BIO are not met.  TimBuck2 (talk) 16:22, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. Having been an unsuccessful candidate in a party primary is not grounds for an article in and of itself — but nothing else here shows credible grounds to deem her notable enough for an article for any other reason either. "Chair of the Criminal Division of the Maryland Attorney General" might get her in the door if she could be shown to have received a WP:GNG-passing volume of media coverage in that role, but it's not an automatic inclusion freebie just because you can nominally source the fact to the attorney general's office's own self-published staff list — and having been an unsuccessful candidate for mayor isn't notability grounds either. But that's literally all the article says about her at all. Bearcat (talk) 19:15, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Unsuccessful candidate does not meet notability of WP:NPOL. Bkissin (talk) 21:24, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete She’s from my state and even I haven’t heard of her. No reliable sources, no evidence of notability, no WP:NPOL. Barely even 4 sentences.Trillfendi (talk) 22:13, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Even if she was unsuccessful for one election that isn't grounds for deletion. She holds an office position and is a prominent figure in Baltimore's governmental community. It's laughable saying "since I don't know her this article needs to be deleted". This article should be kept for future expansion.Scott218 (talk) 20:37, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Nobody can be expected to have been heard of by everybody on earth — there are even people on earth who've never heard of Donald Trump, as unlikely as that may seem. That's precisely why the depth and volume and range of reliable source coverage present in the article is what tells us whether someone is or isn't prominent or notable enough to have an encyclopedia article — the test isn't measured by just stating that someone is prominent, it's measured by how much media coverage she does or doesn't have.

 * Delete She was not even a candidate in the general election. She failed in the primary.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:08, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
