Not notable per WP:GNG or WP:NPOL. Has not held a major position (Board of Regents doesn't reach that threshold. Sourcing is poor, pages from azregents.edu and about an election campaign. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:27, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Valley Leadership, a business association in Arizona, named her Woman of the Year, well before she announced that she was running for governor, and some reliable sources covered the Woman of the Year award. https://www.bizjournals.com/phoenix/news/2019/11/02/valley-leadership-to-celebrate-man-and-woman-of.html https://frontdoorsmedia.com/annual-man-woman-of-the-year-event-includes-person-of-the-decade-award-for-the-late-senator-mccain/ https://www.yourvalley.net/stories/valley-leadership-names-man-woman-of-the-year-person-of-the-decade-award,111156 Eastmain (talk • contribs) 18:21, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. People do not get articles just for running as candidates in future elections per se, but this article does not demonstrate that she has preexisting notability for other reasons independent of a candidacy — the notability test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one. But a university board of regents is not an "inherently" notable office, winning a Woman of the Year award from a local business association is not a free pass over WP:ANYBIO (which is looking for nationally significant distinctions, not just any award that exists), and having been rumoured as a potential pick for appointment to an office that she was not actually appointed to doesn't make her special either.
