This page is for an election candidate with no other claim of notability, and who is also unlikely to win. I'd nominate for speedy or PROD but the page has a particularly stubborn author. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 22:04, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep As the original author of this page I believe it should be kept. All major party (Labor, Greens, Liberal) pre selected candidates with a chance of winning (See polling information for Tasmania) are notable. In previous the Federal Election candidates who were selected by major parties were accepted as notable, included the now Federal Member for Bass whose page main credibility factor was his pre selection for the Liberal ticket. Other candidates for both Labor, Liberal and Green throughout the state with high polling numbers should be included into wikipedia.  ClarkCooley (talk) 8:28, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Looking at recent polling the Liberals are likely to pick up an extra seat in the devision of Bass, and with other notable works included published articles, a book, as well as receiving the first nomination from the Liberals in the State election she independently notable LauncestonWiki (talk) 4:00, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Tasmania doesn't have numbered tickets, so there's no such thing as the "first nomination" from a party (candidates from the same party compete against each other). Writing three newspaper articles in a regional newspaper and one children's book does not notability make. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 04:28, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I understand that Tasmania doesn't have numbered tickets but she was the first non sitting member to be nominated by the party, before the other two Liberal Candidates. LauncestonWiki (talk) 7:12, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete she doesn't yet make WP:POLITICIAN although she would if elected, but she's currently 3rd bus on the rank and the "Liberals-who-are-really-tories" would have to increase their % of the vote to gain an extra seat, so it doesn't look likely.

 * Delete or Move to Draft-space. Given polling it's a distinct possibility she'll pick up a third seat for the Libs at the election, although we won't know for sure until it actually happens of course.  If she makes it, then the article can be moved back into the mainspace, if not it can be deleted.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 13:19, 10 February 2014 (UTC).
 * Remember that Tasmania doesn't have numbered tickets, so while the Liberals may well pick up a third seat in Bass, it could be her, Sarah Courtney, or Barry Jarvis. She's a school principal, so it's not like her profile drastically trumps either of those. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 13:32, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Currently nothing more than a candidate, by all means reinstate article if elected. Flaming Ferrari (talk) 20:08, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Tasmanian state election, 2014. This is an appropriate outcome for candidates to a national legislature. WP:POLOUTCOMES. Enos733 (talk) 04:26, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
