Delete. One of ten candidates for governor of Michigan who ran on the U.S. Taxpayer's Party. Did not make it past the primary election. This article presents her personal and religious background, as well as her platform and stand on the issues of the failed campaign. Lacks notability outside of being an unsuccessful candidate for governor, represented by a fringe political party. Lacks significant coverage presented in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Cindamuse (talk) 14:27, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Delete article reads like a campaign ad and it's redundant since she failed to be elected. Fails both WP:POLITICIAN and WP:GNG. Valenciano (talk) 16:48, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

 * CommentThe candidate does appear on the general ballot for governor (Nov 2, 2010) not just the primary, but like most third party candidates, she's unlikely to get a significant number of votes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.113.43.49 (talk) 18:29, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Keep. Biographies of 3rd party candidates can offer ideas that the major party candidates don't have. Although not elected, she has made some mark on Michigan History, and this article records a piece of it, through the fact she is a Michiganian. Igo4U

Delete. This is WP:SPAM for a person who fails WP:POLITICIAN. Qworty (talk) 02:29, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
