biography does not meet WP:NPOL notability standards. FUNgus guy (talk) 15:29, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete: This page reads like a political brochure. She does not yet meet WP:NPOL criteria, as she is a political candidate. Her other work such as former Exec. Director of an NGO is impressive, but does not meet notability standards. FUNgus guy (talk) 15:38, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - Blatant self-promotion.--Rpclod (talk) 16:41, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Reads like an essay. Most likely Self promotion.  CookieMonster755   (talk)   19:36, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - I am not going to say self-promotion, as we don't know that she is personally behind this, but it is clear that somebody with a conflict of interests is as it is clearly intended to be promotional. Could it legitimately be cut down to a more neutral stub? Not based on the Google News hits. I don't see notability to support it. --DanielRigal (talk) 20:19, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - Looks like a case of WP:COI to me. BenLinus  1214 talk 02:50, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
 * As always, an as yet unelected candidate in a future election does not qualify for a Wikipedia article just for being a candidate. If you cannot make a credible and properly sourced case that she was already notable enough for an article for some other reason before she became a candidate, then she must win the election, not merely run in it, to become notable enough. I would note, as well, that another article about the same person was deleted in April at Articles for deletion/Rachel Blaney — which means that the middle initial being present in the title this time is an apparent attempt to sidestep that discussion, and that this qualifies for speedy deletion as a recreation of a previously deleted article. Accordingly, I am speedy deleting it right now. Bearcat (talk) 14:50, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
