Marina Kats

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non notable congressional candidate. Fails WP:BIO, notability is not inherited from candidacy. Other than getting the GOP nomination in an uncontested primary, she doesn't even have a claim to any notability. Just a local lawyer. Can be recreated if she wins. Montco (talk) 04:36, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete & Redirect to United States House of Representatives elections in Pennsylvania, 2008. WP:BIO makes it clear that mere candidacy does not equal encyclopedic notability. --Stormie (talk) 04:50, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Marina Kats is no longer listed under category of Politician. Listed as People from Pennsylvania, Lawyers form Pennsylvania, and People from Montgomery County, PA. She is not just a local lawyer, but also recognized as one of the "50 Best Businesswomen in PA" by the former Governor, and recognized as a Super Lawyer in the city of Philadelphia. On Temple University's Presidential Advisory Board and has a room named in her honor. To say that she does not meet the notability criteria is a lie. All references of her candidacy being the sole reason for being listed on wikipedia have been removed, other than a small snippet detailing her run for congress, which is part of her life. If it is to be deleted, give one reason as to why she does not meet the notability criteria as a Succesful Lawyer, Businesswoman, and Philanthropist, and refrain from references to her candidacy as the sole reason for her deletion, when the page has been edited to reflect those changes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Katsforcongress (talk • contribs) 15:10, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete I'm not sure of the nominating criteria for Super Lawyer or Successful Lawyer, she may meet them, but I'm pretty sure she doesn't meet the criteria for a WP entry, let her win the election and then repost the article. Mostly cloudy (talk) 17:25, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Funny that Super Lawyer thing. It sounds really cool, until you learn that 5% of the lawyers in the state get the designation.  How many lawyers are there? Apparently 43,000.  So that makes her one of 2,150 in PA. If you google the 50 Best Business Women in PA, there are three hits.  Apparently 47 of the 50 best didn't think it was even significant enough to mention.

 * Delete per WP:N, WP:BIO and WP:ADVERT Looks like a advertisment --Numyht (talk) 17:27, 27 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Significant reliable third-party press coverage establishes that she is noteworthy. If it looks like an advertisement, it needs editing, not deletion. Fg2 (talk) 01:40, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:POLITICIAN, and isn't notable enough as an attorney to merit an article. Qworty (talk) 08:49, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
