Fails WP:NPOL as a candidate for Mayor of Philadelphia in the 2015 Election, which she lost in a landslide, and does not have enough significant coverage to establish WP:GNG. Maybe redirect to 2015 Philadelphia mayoral election? GPL93 (talk) 13:47, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they did not win, but this neither makes nor sources any strong claim that she has preexisting notability that would get her an article for other reasons — even her prior employment background is referenced to mentions of it in the election campaign coverage, not to evidence that she was receiving coverage for that work at the time that she was doing it.

 * Redirect to 2015 Philadelphia mayoral election Unelected candidates do not meet WP:NPOL notability. Redirect to election itself. Bkissin (talk) 20:35, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Redirect to 2015 Philadelphia mayoral election as a usual and appropriate outcome when there is a valid page about the election. --Enos733 (talk) 16:51, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 2015 Philadelphia mayoral election. Very little coverage, far too little for a BLP. Given the lopsided party split in Philadelphia, being the Republican nominee is virtually a BLP1E. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 05:15, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
