 * Delete Fails WP:NPOL and no other claim to notability under WP:GNG. AusLondonder (talk) 07:04, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Per WP:NPOL, a person does not get a Wikipedia article just for being a candidate in an election she didn't win. If you cannot demonstrate and source that she was already notable enough for an article on some other notability criterion independent of her candidacy, then she has to win the election to get an article out of it, not merely be on the ballot. And the only other way around that is to show that she garnered a volume of coverage extremely disproportionate to what any candidate for office could routinely expect to receive — the Christine O'Donnell test — but the volume of sourcing shown here isn't even a fraction of one per cent of enough to clear that bar.
