Shelley Adler

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Wife of deceased congressman does not earn inherited notability. In her own right, serving on the Cherry Hill, New Jersey City Council and unsuccessfully running for Congress do not satisfy WP:NPOL. KidAd  talk  05:38, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. Despite a rather deceptive section header on the page, she did not serve in the New Jersey Senate, and nothing else in her biography takes her above the level of failed candidate. BD2412  T 06:17, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nothing here is an article-clinching notability claim: people do not get Wikipedia articles for running as candidates in elections they didn't win, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for serving on the municipal council in a township, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for happening to have been married to more notable people, adding those three things together still doesn't amount to a credible notability claim, and having a blip of campaign coverage does not make a candidate more special than other candidates since they all also have blips of campaign coverage.

 * Merge/ Redirect to John Adler - She is not independently notable based on the sources provided. The article itself appears to have been created as a fork from the article for her husband John Adler and some of the concerns raised about "deceptive" and misleading headings are based on the copying from that original article. Her efforts to run for office to succeed her husband / fill his seat would fit properly into his article. as a candidate for Congress, and article that exists as a redirect would be beneficial to readers.
