Fails the notability guideline for politicians as a local politician with not much significant press coverage outside her local area with a population of 40,000 (the ABC News story cited is probably a regional one that was barely picked up statewide or nationally ... also see this archived version of it). Could easily turn into a coatrack, if it's not already. I live in Busselton, have written extensively about it for Wikipedia, and and hadn't heard of this person (though I don't follow local politics);. Also see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ian Stubbs, a similar nomination of an article created by the same user. Graham87 (talk) 16:03, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:NPOL. A local councillor with only local coverage. LibStar (talk) 22:21, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:NPOL. Most of the citations that aren't Busselton-Dunsborough Mail only cover her in passing. The ABC spends a bit more time on her but mostly because it is conveying statements from her or quoting her, and then the article is not devoted to her solely. The ABC article is certainly not what I would consider in depth coverage of her. She's not done anything outside of what a councillor would ordinarily do that would make her notable. Searching does find this SMH article, however Ryan is only mentioned in passing. Everything else I see is stuff that's already in the article such as Busselton-Dunsborough Mail articles and The Mandarin article. TarnishedPath^talk 09:54, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
