Per WP:BLP1E. Simply winning a nomination is not an indication of notability on Wikipedia and this candidate has no unique, reliable sources and no inherent claims to notability. TM 21:10, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * She's the offical Democrat candidate for Senate for Kansas. How can that not be notable?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Librarian at Terminus (talk • contribs) 21:16, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Read this guideline on notability, particularly this guideline for politicians if you want to state she is notable.--TM 21:19, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Being a Democratic candidate for a major statewide election is very notable.--Jerzeykydd (talk) 21:21, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Care to defend that per WP:POLITICIAN "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article."?--TM 21:28, 25 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. Fails WP:POLITICIAN.Redirect to United States Senate election in Kansas, 2010 pending outcome of the election. Jimmy Pitt   talk  21:41, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Jimmy Pitt, no apparent notability independent of the election, thus fails WP:POLITICIAN. If she is elected the article can be recreated. Valenciano (talk) 20:11, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
