The result was   keep. She doesn't fail BLP1E as there is also sourced information about her removal from the party, and on her parentage. Ged UK  15:04, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Accidently elected as a local councillor replaced in a couple of months. Fails: WP:POLITICIAN Wintonian (talk) 23:54, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep as a quick google search shows that she meets the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article" laid out in point 3. There is a lot of coverage about her in various sources but most of it centres around her being, unwittingly, the first mixed race member of the BNP . However many of these have been removed from the article in the past by IP users and her ethnic identity is just mentioned in passing even though it is probably the main basis for her notability (along with the council incident and her leadership of her own party) due to the coverage it received. If kept a rewrite to indicate the centrality of her BNP membership as a mixed race person to her notability would be in order along with semi-protection for the article.

 * Keep Her involvement in the founding of NNP would meet WP:N, let alone being the first black mixed-race BNP councillor elected. Andy Dingley (talk) 01:58, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I can't see how involvement in the founding of a very minor party would make somebody notable. Warofdreams talk 15:44, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:BLP1E. Accidentally being "elected" due to a miscount is a single event. Ray  Talk 22:14, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment that's no longer the case. Also what has been added used to be in the article but has been consistently removed despite being sourced, mostly by anonymous users with an axe to grind. That's why I'm suggesting there should be semi-protection rather than deletion. Keresaspa (talk) 15:14, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
 * What do you mean, no longer the case? Is there a claim of notability for the subject independent of the electoral mishap that I missed? Ray  Talk 19:41, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete -- The only possible notability is as a mixed race meber of BNP. Being a local councillor is NN.  I think it follows that being elected due to an incorrect declaration is also NN.  Possibly redirect to her own minor party sicne that has an article (but should it?).  Peterkingiron (talk) 21:15, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - notable, if at all, for one event only. Warofdreams talk 15:44, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
