Rated B class on the talk page by its own creator, this article is about a subject whose notability derives from her political campaign. Unfortunately she was unsuccessful so the article does not pass WP:NPOL. Mccapra (talk) 19:54, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being unsuccessful candidates for political office — the notability test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one. But nothing else stated here is "inherently" notable enough to guarantee her an article independently of whether she won or lost as a political candidate, the depth and volume of referencing is not enough to demonstrate that her candidacy was uniquely more notable than other people's candidacies, and this is written more like somebody tried to convert her résumé into prose than like a neutral encyclopedia article.

 * Delete per WP:POLOUTCOMES - local activist and unsuccessful candidate. Generally, for activists to get an article it has to be clearly significant coverage and awards. Bearian (talk) 16:03, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
 * P.S. The B-rating is laughable, since there are unsourced statements about the living subject. Bearian (talk) 16:04, 14 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete Sadly, in failing to win her election, she is not notable outside of that at this time. Trillfendi (talk) 23:01, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
