 * Delete: There is no reference. Rirunmot (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 01:54, 30 December 2009 (UTC).
 * Weak Keep, she's the deputy mayor, and there does appear to be quite a bit of coverage referencing her. It should be possible to come up with a somewhat decent article from that, I think.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 07:09, 30 December 2009 (UTC).
 * Borderline Keep. I'm not so convinced by the coverage myself, but she has been selected in a Labour safe seat which is close to a de facto election as an MP. Combined with being deputy mayor of the borough, I'd say this scrapes it - just. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 10:42, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment WP:POLITICIAN doesn't consider all mayors to be notable, let alone deputy mayors. Just being selected for a safe seat doesn't qualify there either, so perhaps this could be userfied until the subject is elected to a notable post. MuffledThud (talk) 11:01, 30 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete as although the subject is mentioned in several available news articles, she is only brought up in passing and not as a main focus. Quantumobserver (talk) 00:07, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Plainly a vanity page: "She believes in equality, fairness wants everyone to have equal chances". I could only find a single local newspaper article actually about her. Wikipedia should not fill up with local councillors and PPCs. As for it being a safe seat, who knows with Labour's polling, and it was a Tory seat in 1987. Fences  &amp;  Windows  00:22, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. An unreferenced vanity page that fails WP:POLITICIAN.  If she gets elected at the next General Election, she qualifies.  If the Mayor keels over and she gets promoted, she probably qualifies - but not yet.  --Saalstin (talk) 00:35, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep -- at leat until after the 2010 General Election. She is Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for the Labour Party for a safe labour seat.  This means that after the election, she is likely to becomne notable.  If we delete this article now, it will have to be re-created after the election.  We can delete it after the election if she loses.  Peterkingiron (talk) 22:21, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - doesn't appear to satisfy WP:POLITICIAN; wouldn't oppose recreation when/if she meets it in the future, but Wikipedia is not a crystal ball.  Cocytus   [»talk«]  22:24, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:POLITICIAN. Snappy (talk) 12:42, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as this person does not satisfy WP:POLITICIAN right now. JBsupreme (talk) 07:48, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
