Local board member. Searches did not turn up enough in-depth coverage from reliable sources to show she meets WP:GNG, and she certainly doesn't meet either WP:ACADEMIC or WP:NPOLITICIAN.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:48, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. Serving on a smalltown school board is not an article-clinching notability claim in and of itself, but the sourcing is nowhere close to getting her over WP:GNG — three of the eight footnotes are primary sources that do not count as support for notability at all, and the five that are real media are all from the same local newspaper. This represents a range and depth and volume of coverage that every school board trustee everywhere could quite routinely be expected to show, so it's not enough to nationalize her notability as somehow more deserving of an article than most other school board trustees in North America. The rule here is not that as long as a person can show two or more media hits they're automatically exempted from actually having to pass our subject-specific inclusion rules for their occupation — if you're shooting for "doesn't pass any SNGs but is notable anyway just because media coverage exists", then actually getting there takes a lot more media coverage than has been shown here.

 * Delete fails WP:GNG, and a school board is not an automatic notability pass by any means. SportingFlyer  talk  17:56, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom for failing notability guidelines at WP:ACADEMIC and WP:NPOLITICIAN. Ifnord (talk) 19:40, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
