Non-notable individual lacking in-depth, non-trivial support. Appears to fail WP:POLITICIAN. red dogsix (talk) 18:53, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep: May be the creator failed to add notable references. I have added three more. Seems notable enough now. Blazing Sceptile (talk) 21:12, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Three references is not enough to make a person notable just for being an as yet unselected candidate in a party primary. Bearcat (talk) 02:49, 15 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete or redirect to Pennsylvania gubernatorial election, 2018. Candidates for election do not meet WP:NPOL, per WP:POLOUTCOMES, as the campaign is notable, even if a particular candidate is not. --Enos733 (talk) 23:08, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete candidates are not notable under WP:POLITICIAN unless they fall under the broader WP:GNG guideline, and she does not appear to. SportingFlyer  talk  02:28, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Being an as yet unelected candidate in an upcoming political primary is not a notability claim that gets somebody into Wikipedia in and of itself — and simply showing a couple of media sources for her candidacy announcement is not an automatic WP:GNG pass either, because every candidate in any election could always show that. Rather, there are only two ways to make a political candidate notable enough for a Wikipedia article: (a) the election is over and she won it, or (b) she was already notable enough for an article for some other reason besides her candidacy. So no prejudice against recreation on or after election day if she wins, but neither the sourcing nor the substance on offer here already get her a Wikipedia article today.

 * Delete Candidates need to receive much higher than expected coverage to show notability. A major party nominee for governor may meet this threshold. A never-before holding public office lawyer who is one of multiple candidates in a primary for the governors election clearly does not. If Ellsworth wins the primary, she may be notable, if she wins the general election she clearly will be, she is not at this time in any way.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:53, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:NPOLITICIAN. Number   5  7  13:13, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Pennsylvania gubernatorial election, 2018. She is not as of yet notable, but there is the future and is right now a potential search term. The gubernatorial election page can have some biographical information on her. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs ) ~ 01:35, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
