 * Keep She is a higher up in the LaRouche Movement and has plenty of publications and references (media and otherwise) unrelated to her failed political candidacies ...   ... she is currently the editor in chief of Larouche's New Federalist newspaper.  Further, due to the shenanigans in the 2002 election, she would be notable from that alone.  Basically, there was a big fight between her and the Democrat party.  She tried to become a Democrat and steal the Democrat nomination (ala Pat Buchanan / Reform Party).  I didn't see this AFD when it first came out.  As such, there are a bunch of deletes in the now-several days old AFD.  If there are no responses after this one, I would encourage the closing admin to relist it for further consensus. (If other people reading this still feel she is non-notable, ok, that's fine, I'm not going to get too upset over it - just if nobody but the closing admin reads this, it's probably worth further consideration since the seven people voting to delete are probably aware that she has any notability beyond a failed candidacy.)

 * Neutral. As an admin who watches articles related to the LaRouche Movement, I don't care one way or another. Spannaus is a figure in that movement, but her overall notability (such as it is) rests in her U.S. Senate campaigns. As with other LaRouche candidates (see Janice Hart), Spannaus' minor degree of success seems to have been based on ignorance of her positions rather then knowledge of them. How many articles do we have about people who's chief claim to fame is getting 20% of the vote in a statewide election? However if there is a considerable lack of reliable sources to base an article upon, then it may be impossible to write a verifiable, NPOV article about her. In that sense it may not meet the notability standard of having reliable, 3rd party sources. It's up to you, closing administrator! Cheers, -Will Beback 10:18, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
