Subject was a candidate in an election and lost. Other coverage is trivial Kingbird1 (talk) 13:06, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete: I put a Prod notice on this article soon after it was created last April, with the rationale "Neither the subject's place on a candidate list nor listed positions are sufficient for the WP:POLITICIAN or broader WP:BIO notability criteria.". The Prod was removed by the article creator on the basis of newspaper predictions that her party would obtain a list seat, which would go to her, in the then-forthcoming election. This WP:CRYSTAL prediction didn't happen. That leaves the question of whether her subsequent media activity is sufficient to establish any encyclopaedic notability: I think not.

 * Keep I see numerous Gnews sources relating to both the election run and her other activities. WP:GNG Is established by multiple sources in good pubs. Article needs a trim to be less promotional.198.58.162.200 (talk) 16:50, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:NPOLITICIAN and WP:GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:46, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Local coverage of local elections always exists, so it falls under WP:ROUTINE and an unelected candidate for political office does not permanently clear WP:GNG just because of that coverage alone — to attain notability on the campaign coverage itself, it would have to be shown that her campaign coverage had exploded far out of proportion to what any candidate for office could always show, such as what happened to Christine O'Donnell in 2010. Absent that, the only other way to get her in the door is to show that she already cleared a Wikipedia notability standard for some other reason independent of her candidacy itself — but nothing here demonstrates that either.

 * Delete defeated candidates are not notable for that, and these is no other coverage of anything else that would show she is notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:43, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - She does not seem to meet the notability criteria for WP:NPOLITICIAN.  CAPTAIN RAJU  (✉)   20:36, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
