Doesn't meet notability criteria per WP:POLITICIAN. Propose redirect to election article. If she wins, then restore (with style fixes). Arbor8 (talk) 16:14, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Redirect- To United States House of Representatives elections in Texas, 2012 per nominator, where her candidacy is already appropriately discussed, restore and expand if elected. Dru of Id (talk) 02:03, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:POLITICIAN in that, per point #3, she meets the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article". On an unrelated note, the United States House of Representatives elections in Texas, 2012 article is itself months out of date and does not reflect the results of the primary or runoff elections. I'm always uncomfortable seeing a plausibly notable politician's article come up for deletion shortly before the election in which they are a candidate as it means Wikipedia is contributing to incumbency bias. - Dravecky (talk) 09:25, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to United States House of Representatives elections in Texas, 2012. Subject does not appear to pass WP:POLITICIAN, IMHO. As he notability of the subject is primarily around the election, a redirect can be left in the articlespace. Now if the subject receives significant coverage, and not just passing mention, for other activities than the article can be recreated.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 03:17, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to United States House of Representatives elections in Texas, 2012 per WP:POLITICIAN. Fair or not, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that documents subjects that are "notable"; it is not a voter guide designed to give equal time to political candidates.

 * Keep per WP:POLITICIAN in that notability of the subject is not solely around current election. She has received notable press from previous elected positions.

 * Keep She seems to be a real politician with probably a voter base, she also seem to be covered by the media. Notable enough I would think -- Camilo S&aacute;nchez Talk to me 03:56, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
