This individual does not meet WP:NPOL and this article should be deleted per WP:POLOUTCOMES. This is a candidate, not an elected official. Wikipedia should not be in the business of hosting campaign advertisements that are proxies for a candidate's own websites. This article has been created and heavily edited by WP:SPA accounts that we could reasonably assume to have a WP:COI. But the reason to delete this article is because it doesn't meet GNG. It's WP:TOOSOON. Marquardtika (talk) 19:58, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Redirect to United States House of Representatives elections in Illinois, 2018. Subject is not notable per GNG or NPOL. Many of the sources cited are not truly independent of the subject (like her endorsers, who have much invested in her candidacy). She could win, which would make her notable, but we're two months from knowing, so it's WP:TOOSOON. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:31, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Redirect - as per above. Subject does not currently meet WP:NBIO but will if she gets elected in November. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:07, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect. As always, candidates in forthcoming elections are not automatically eligible for Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — the notability bar for politicians requires winning the election and thereby holding the office, not just running for it. But the standard campaign coverage that every candidate in every election always receives does not automatically get her over WP:GNG by itself, either — to be exempted from having to pass NPOL on "media coverage exists" grounds, that media coverage has to mark her candidacy out as nationally, not just locally, significant for reasons beyond simply having her name on the ballot, but no such evidence is on offer here.

 * Redirect to United States House of Representatives elections in Illinois, 2018 as per usual with candidates lacking pre-campaign notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:28, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to United States House of Representatives elections in Illinois, 2018. Candidates don't meet WP:NPOL notability. The senior advisor to HHS under Obama is interesting, but it's not enough to establish notability outside of this candidacy. Bkissin (talk) 14:42, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
