Fails WP:NPOL. Non-notable. Came in third in a primary. Per the policy, notability is based on "a politician has receiving "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists." Coverage is related to routine campaign developments or controversial things she's said over the course of her political career. Non-notable politician.

Delete: So, she's a failed political candidate that got mocked about being a flat-earther (nor not, depending on who you believe); regardless, I don't see notability. Running for office isn't notable, career looks routine otherwise. Oaktree b (talk) 00:41, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Failed political candidate, only reason she's attracted some passing coverage is bizarre comments accusing people of being Satanists. That's not how we build a BLP. AusLondonder (talk) 03:48, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. As always, candidates do not get articles just for being candidates, and the fact that she bobs back up to the surface of the news cycle every once in a while for saying stupid stuff is not in and of itself a reason why her unsuccessful candidacy would be more special than everybody else's unsuccessful candidacies.

Ugh/Comment: This person should not be notable but it is a weird part of the current US Republican party that fringe people who say truly wild things get more traction and press coverage than one would think possible. So the case for notability is not and could not be based on merely being a failed political candidate in a GOP primary seeking a US House seat. On the other hand, it is notable that a Georgia GOP regional chair is saying Jews are 'controlling everything'. I just checked to see if Valentina Gomez has an article - she's the Missouri GOP'er who ran for Secretary of State who says totally bonkers things. She doesn't have an article either. So I'm going to go along with the consensus to delete here as the wiser outcome.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 15:26, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
