The starting flaw is that this article is only sourced to Boyack's own website. My attempt to find any other sources through a google search failed. Beyond this, none of the stated acheivements rise to the level of notability. She wrote some books, but none that I can find mention of beyond a few blogs and Amazon.com reviews. I found a local article on her leaving the Poway City Council, but that is not enough to establish her being a member of the Poway City Council as a sign of notability.

 * Delete per nom, she doesn't meet guidelines for WP:NPOL (not a major local political figure) or WP:AUTHOR, nor general guidelines per WP:BIO. --Mr. Vernon (talk) 02:35, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as it's quite simple, nothing for WP:POLITICIAN or WP:AUTHOR. SwisterTwister   talk  05:48, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as another article that looks like the candidate herself wrote it. Instaurare (talk) 23:51, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Original creator User:Cboyack. So you're essentially right — even if she didn't actually write it herself, a member of her family certainly did. Bearcat (talk) 15:27, 29 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete. Serving on city council in a city the size of Poway is not an WP:NPOL pass — we grant an automatic presumption of notability to city councillors only in major, internationally famous global cities, not in every city that exists — and there's no media coverage shown here to assemble anything approaching a "passes WP:GNG anyway because coverage" claim. Also WP:COI of some kind, as the original creator was User:Cboyack. Bearcat (talk) 15:25, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
