 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable local politician. Her only political office was as a BART board member; while BART is significant, its officials (except for general managers) tend to be town-level politicians that fly under the radar except at election season. The only news stories about her are trivial policy points, and for her failed candidacy for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. There's just not enough there to establish a real claim of notability. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:56, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete does not pass WP:POLITICIAN and not otherwise notable under WP:GNG. Two previous AfDs were keeps, but the first one had only two voters, and the second one was a mistake, as local press coverage of a politician who is not otherwise notable performing their political role does not grant them automatic notability.

 * Delete. Being a member of a municipal transit board is not an WP:NPOL pass in and of itself, but the article is not referenced anywhere near well enough to suggest that she would get over WP:GNG in lieu. A person does not clear GNG by getting quoted as a giver of soundbite in articles about other things — she gets over GNG by being substantively the subject of media coverage about her, but that's not what any of the sources here are showing: three of them are primary sources, and the other two are soundbites.
