Unelected politicians are generally not notable despite receiving press mentions during the campaign.There is no claim to notability outside failed political races. The article alludes, but does not cite sources, that she may be a protest candidate. If that is the case we need very good sourcing from neutral sources describing that role.

 * She is HK famous, especially after the Hong Kong by-election, 2010 and breast incident, but not internationally famous. So where does that fit in notability criteria? And I ask that because there are alot of successful and failed politicians for example in the US, Canada etc who are very famous, but are virtually unknown outside where they work.

 * Locally famous outside last years election incident? If that is the extent of it the incident is worth a sentence or two in the article about the election, otherwise I don't see it.
 * Can you please help with sourcing this, and the claims made? Youtube doesn't cut it and I'd really hope for more than gossip pages in The Standard. WP:POLITICIAN is a pretty minimal guideline (which is why so many US/Canadian officials have articles) but this article doesn't even meet that. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)

Comment - The indecent assault incident is likely the critical point here. shows a few stories about her and I've seen the incident on TV (aTV or TVB I can't remember), so I'm leaning towards thinking she's notable per WP:POLITICIAN (but I'm not sure and would like to be convinced the other way.)
