WP:BLP of a person notable primarily as an unsuccessful candidate for political office, which is not a claim that passes WP:POLITICIAN. While the earlier deletion discussion was withdrawn by the nominator on the grounds of her prior work as a civil servant, the problem is that the content about her work as a civil servant is not sourced to contemporary coverage which demonstrates that she was gaining media attention for that work at the time it was happening, but to after the fact mentions of her work as a civil servant within sources that are specifically about her candidacies. Which in turn means that the notability of her work as a civil servant has not been properly demonstrated, since the weight of sourcing is sitting entirely on her election campaigns. And further, even in the original discussion the "consensus" was actually a 50-50 split once you account for the nominator's withdrawal and the anonymous IP who argued that her candidacy itself made her a keep (which it doesn't). I'm certainly willing to withdraw this nomination if the sourcing can be improved to contemporaneous coverage of her prior work, but as currently written and sourced the article does not adequately demonstrate that she's notable enough for other things to get around her lack of notability as a politician.
