Non-notable Ontario political candidate. I don't believe that being deputy leader of a minor party by itself warrants inclusion. Based on the state of this article I recommend delete or redirect to a Green party candidate page. Suttungr (talk) 13:14, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Green Party of Ontario candidates, 2007 Ontario provincial election. Not notable enough either by politics or news sources. EncyclopediaUpdaticus (talk) 14:38, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * EncyclopediaUpdaticus: We have met before on another AFD discussion where you also claimed that the subject was "not notable". I am just trying to understand how wikipedians come to this  conclusion with so much confidence. I myself am unable to sift thru the  48,500 google results to determine whether she is or not "notable". Would you  kindly share with us how you do it? Thanks in advance.

 * Please review WP:Politician, clause #3. For news coverage there are only 21 results from a single community newspaper. IMO, that is not significant coverage. EncyclopediaUpdaticus (talk) 11:57, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I have reviewed the list you refer to by clicking the link at the top of this page, and contrary to what you say I count seven different sources (Northumberland News, Newsdurhamregion.com, The Trentonian, Peterborough Examiner, Kingston Whig-Standard, Standard Freeholder, Sudbury Star ) including at least one that I know is not a community paper, but a rather major news source in the area?

 * Actually, four of those are major news sources, not just one... Bearcat (talk) 20:43, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

For what it's worth, while I don't personally know very much about her background beyond what's already in the article, I think it's very possible that the article could be significantly expanded to surpass WP:GNG by going into a lot more depth about her involvement in environmental activism. Redirect for now, but without prejudice against future recreation if somebody is willing to put in the time and effort to WP:HEY it up. Bearcat (talk) 20:43, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Green Party of Ontario candidates, 2007 Ontario provincial election. Fails WP:POLITICIAN.  &mdash;SW&mdash; express 23:59, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
