Does not meet wiki politician standards. Wgolf (talk) 19:31, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing out the shortfalls in this page. I have resolved both concerns you mentioned, by inserting two citations and linking other pages to this page. Let me know if you see other problems. -GrahamHMay
 * Delete, the main issue is whether she meets WP:NOTABILITY; principally WP:POLITICIAN or WP:GNG. I couldn't find any evidence that she does yet (perhaps WP:TOOSOON). Boleyn (talk) 19:48, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

I disagree - she has done some important work in the past (independent of her candidacy), and is currently a very prominent member of our region (which I am from). People deserve to have a relatively impartial source to get information about where she comes from and what she stands for. Furthermore, if others have information to add, they deserve a forum to do so. I have populated the page with five references now, to demonstrate the point. -GrahamHMay


 * Delete per nom. Fails POLITICIAN, BIO, GNG, etc. No doubt a credit to her community, but Wikipedia is not here to provide a forum. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:12, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as far as being notable in an encyclopedic sense I couldn't find much in the way of 3rd party references to support the claim. The coverage from the article references is really temporary. Whenever there are elections happening good coverage is allways needed at Wikinews to synthesize multiple reports into a single narrative. but as far as encyclopedic? it doesn't meet that threshold for me. but who knows what the future holds, she may end up the president of Canada and be notable in the future but for today, delete.

 * Delete Looks more promotional that notable. Sources do not really provide anything of note. AlbinoFerret  20:20, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
