Does not meet WP:NPOL she has only held local offices. To be included she must have held at least a state wide office. Both offices are small offices she has held. Reason Rrmmll22 (talk) 20:02, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The second point in NPOL allows for local politicians with significant press coverage, and Balducci qualifies based on the coverage she has from The Seattle Times. Sounder Bruce 20:38, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I typed this woman’s name into google and the Seattle Times does not come up on the first 5 pages of google. Plus many other people with the same come up. This is an obvious Delete.--Rrmmll22 (talk) 20:48, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - No need for a bolded extra vote. Besides which, the "first five pages of Google" argument is just silly. SEO isn't a notability criteria. St★lwart¹¹¹ 10:21, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep. Sources indicate that the subject meets WP:GNG. As an aside, the seemingly-systematic attempts to delete pages of members of the King County Council is becoming somewhat concerning. KidAd • SPEAK 20:59, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- @ User:KidAd to address your accusations of a conspiracy notice Jeanne Kohl-Welles is not up for deletion. That’s because she has been in the Washington state senate and state rep. I personally don’t feel she should be included but she meets WP:NPOL so we can’t delete her. Even state politicians are so numerous hundreds of state senators at once across the country they are so numerous and not important at all. Hence, I don’t see this conspiracy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rrmmll22 (talk • contribs)
Keep She meets the GNG. The nominator states To be included she must have held at least a state wide office, but this is demonstrably false. Wikipedia has many biographies of notable politicians who never reached the state or provincial level of office. She has served as mayor of Bellevue, Washington, a city of 150,000 people, and Wikipedia has thousands of biographies of mayors. She is an elected member of the King County Council, the governing body of a county with 2.3 million members. Compare to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors which governs a city and county of about 900,000 residents. And Category:San Francisco Board of Supervisors members shows that Wikipedia has biographies on 91 of its members. The notion that state senators are not important at all is contrary to reality and to the goal of building an encyopedia, and really quite surprising.

Keep - meets GNG, nomination isn't correct about the relevant SNG, probably not the relevant SNG here, still meets GNG anyway. St★lwart¹¹¹ 02:53, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to King County Council. This is far from an obvious delete, but the subject does not pass WP:NPOL. The expectation is that an incumbent in a position that does not have the presumption of notability is that the article contains more than "she exists." I do believe that the volume of news hits indicates there should be enough for an editor to describe the contributions the subject made while in office, but most of that coverage appears to be limited to a quote, rather than about the subject. The question about meeting GNG is whether there are multiple articles in independent news sources in which she is the subject. --Enos733 (talk) 03:23, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:BASIC and WP:HEY, the article now includes more than "Chair of the King County Council" and "former mayor of Bellevue", due to the addition of multiple independent and reliable sources focused on her during her career. Beccaynr (talk) 15:00, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per meeting WP:GNG. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:11, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
