Contested proposed deletion. This is a BLP which has been unsourced, and apparently unsourceable, for five years now, edited almost exclusively by the single-purpose User:Socialistsuk who has never made an edit to any other article other than to insert links to this page. If all the unsourceable contentious statements are "removed immediately and without waiting for discussion", as WP:BLP mandates, it brings it down to four sentences - and two of those are unsourced.

The proposed deletion was contested with a statement that "there are several credible claims of national notability", but that seems a flawed argument to me, given that it doesn't appear possible to source the claims. I can't see any indication that she's anything other than a mid-ranking trade union official, and the claims to wider significance seem either inflated or good-faith errors. Other than "organised a group of 20 fellow school students to the large anti-poll tax demonstration in London in March 1990", none of the claims appear to be sourceable. Googling [//www.google.com/search?q= "Lizzie Woods" PCS] and [//www.google.com/search?q= "Lizzie Woods" cleaners] brings up no sources other than her employer, blogs and minor non-RS websites, and googling [//www.google.com/search?q= "Firebrand Leisa"] brings up literally nothing but Wikipedia mirrors aside from this article, which is written in the first person so presumably self-penned. The Labour Representation Committee (2004) is a genuine pressure group, although according to our page it has only 1000 members, but she doesn't appear on their national committee's membership list - according to this she resigned in 2013.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete per nom; she's just a chip off the old block, and notability is not inherited. (I'm not that impressed with her father's article either; it seems that every obscure communist tract in existence is accorded RS status and being used to support articles on everyone who ever wrote in them.)
