The result was nomination withdrawn, as I evidently missed the fact that she served in the state assembly. I will note that the article extremely underplays that fact in favour of an overemphasis on her less notable position, to the point that an entirely reasonable person like me could miss the assembly claim entirely — so the article still needs an overhaul to put the WP:WEIGHT of notability and sourcing where it belongs.

WP:BLP of a person notable primarily as a county councillor and non-winning candidate for higher offices. As always, neither of these represents an automatic free pass over our notability standards for politicians -- county commissioners aren't automatically presumed to pass NPOL #2 just because they exist, and candidates don't get articles just for being candidates -- but there's no quality reliable sourcing being shown here to get her over WP:GNG: of the seven "references" here, one is just a pronunciation key to her surname rather than a source, four are primary sources that cannot support notability at all, one is a glancing namecheck of her existence in a source that isn't about her, and the last is one of my all-time favourite achievements in reference bombing: "2011 Las Vegas Mayoral Race Coverage, Fox5Vegas.com". Not any specific piece of coverage, but just the whole kit and caboodle in toto grande, cited only to support the fact that she lost the race. (Here, of course, is where it's necessary for me to remind everyone that the expected and routine local coverage of a mayoral election does not automatically vault the loser over GNG as a detour around her failure to clear NPOL.) None of the sourcing is cutting any mustard here at all, and nothing stated in the article body is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the sourcing from having to cut mustard.

Keep - She served as a state legislator, and she is a local politician in the most populated and influential county/region in the state. Her qualification alone makes her a serious contender, not some perennial minor candidate. Acnetj (talk) 03:53, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, no local politician anywhere — big county, small county, doesn't matter — gets a free exemption from having to pass NPOL #2 as the subject of significant press coverage just because of her county's size. So at the volume of sourcing shown here, her status in local politics counts for nothing. Bearcat (talk) 14:48, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
