Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they did not win. To qualify for an article without having to win the election and serve in Congress, she would have to either (a) show that she already had preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten her an article anyway (which being a member of a local school board is not), or (b) show such an unusually large volume and depth and range of coverage, expanding far beyond just what every candidate in every election can always show, that she would have a credible claim to being much more special than most other candidates in some way that would pass the ten year test for enduring significance. This article is not passing either of those tests, however. Bearcat (talk) 16:33, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Outside of losing the election, no notability. Oaktree b (talk) 16:45, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Let it get Published I think that she has enough notability, even search in Google has her information. She deserves a Wikipedia article page for herself. She is a politician, well known and even has stood in elections. — Preceding unsigned comment added by George Maverick (talk • contribs) 03:16, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Standing in elections is not in and of itself what gets a politician into Wikipedia. Winning elections, and thereby serving in a notable political office, is. Bearcat (talk) 14:53, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
