 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Orphan article about a non-notable local city councilmember. Half the article is about her failed bids for mayor and the state legislature. Of the eight citations in the article, five link to her defunct campaign web site, one links to her City biography, one links to a local blog, and one links to a local web site. She does not meet any of the notability criteria outlined at WP:POLITICIAN. OCNative (talk) 12:00, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Santa Ana is not in the narrow range of metropolitan global cities in which we accept serving on the city council as sufficient notability in and of itself — rather, it's in the class of cities where we only accept city councillors as notable if you can source and substance them exponentially better than has even been attempted here: of the eight listed sources, six are primary sources (own website, profile on city's website) and the other two are blogs, which means exactly zero of them can carry a person over WP:GNG at all. And being an unelected candidate for higher office doesn't help, either — a person has to win election and hold a notable office to get into Wikipedia, not merely run for one. So for every conceivable reason, this is a delete. Bearcat (talk) 21:44, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete, despite my respect for people willing to do the hard work of local government, because local coverage of the type I'm seeing is not Wikipedia notable.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:30, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
