Poorly sourced WP:BLP of a person whose only stated claim of notability is having been a political candidate. As always, WP:NPOL extends notability to holders of political office, not candidates for it, but there's no indication here that she ever won election to any NPOL-passing office. The sources aren't helping to get her over WP:GNG, either: of the 12 footnotes that were here when I first encountered the article, I had to strip fully half of them as invalid WP:CIRCULAR referencing to other Wikipedia articles, and three of the six that remain are directly affiliated primary sources (self-published content from her own political parties) that cannot support notability at all -- and of the three that are actually media, one is a purely routine list of all the candidates in one of her elections (thus not evidence that she's special), while the other two are short blurbs which are not substantive enough to carry passage of GNG all by themselves as the only independent sources in play. In a nutshell, the sourcing here simply isn't cutting it, and nothing stated in the article body is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the sourcing from having to cut it.

Delete My searches fail to uncover WP:SIGCOV. If anyone thinks they can source it, feel free to ping me to reconsider.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:11, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete doesn't satisfy WP:NPOLITICIAN as not been in an elected office. And fails WP:GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:35, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
