Basically a vanity page. This is a student who is claimed to be a minor party candidate for US Senate. Info is out of date, too, but more to the point, not notable. BTfromLA 21:41, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Weak keep, I'm inclined to keep significant members of minor nationwide parties, who else is going to write from NPOV about such people if not us? Seems reasonably active in Puerto Rican independentista politics, etc., an unpopular stance (to say the least) in Florida. I would expect that there is potential for a worthwhile article here. "Claimed to be" (above) is wrong, there is ample documentation on line. -- Jmabel | Talk 07:56, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm still trying to understand what the criteria are for inclusion as an article--does anyone who gets on a ballot anywhere merit an article? What about write-in candidates?  "Big" offices only, or local administrators?  My thought is that the individual needs to have done something distinguished to merit an article about them personally, rather than a larger organization in which they operate.  If the point is to document minor parties and small political movements (and I wholeheartedly agree that is a good use of Wikipedia), isn't her involvement be better covered on the Socialist Workers Party article, or in articles on other movements in which she's active?  By the way, didn't mean to imply that the claim of her Senate Candidacy was false, only that I hadn't confirmed it, since that wasn't the crux of my objection to the entry.

 * Borderline keep - merge and redirect article on the race in question? - David Gerard 16:25, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
