Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of a writer and unsuccessful political candidate, not properly referenced as passing our inclusion standards in either field. People aren't notable just for standing as candidates in elections they did not win, so her notability has to be assessed entirely on her writing -- but this is not referenced to sufficient third-party critical analysis about her writing to get her over WP:GNG, and instead it is referenced almost entirely to her own writing metaverifying its own existence in primary sources like academic thesis directories and the self-published websites of directly affiliated organizations. To be fair, the article was created in 2010, when both our notability and sourcing rules were different than they are now, but articles aren't exempted from having to be improvable just because they were technically acceptable a decade ago -- and on a search for better, more GNG-worthy sourcing, I just can't find anything but glancing namechecks of her existence in raw tables of election results from her political candidacy.

 * Delete. I found and added to the article three reviews of her book, and found evidence that there might be a fourth. But that's all I found. That's not out of the ordinary for this kind of book and one academic book with that many academic reviews isn't enough for WP:AUTHOR for me, nor even enough to suggest making an article about the book instead of its author. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:48, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
