One-time political candidate, failing WP:POLITICIAN, a syndicated columnist, author and co-host of The View for one day. I don't believe all of this combined meets WP:GNG. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:27, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Fails WP:POLITICIAN, but nonetheless has more than enough secondary sources on google to pass WP:BASIC. Article should be cleaned up and expanded. Lionel (talk) 00:30, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete She got only 22.7% of the vote so she certainly fails WP:POLITICIAN. As for those "secondary sources" mentioned by Lionel, I'm not seeing them. Google News Archive finds things BY her, not about her. She writes a syndicated column, but that's not enough by itself to satisfy WP:AUTHOR. Her books are published by Thomas Nelson, a Bible publisher which also has a self-publishing arm; self-published books fail WP:AUTHOR. Of the six references listed at the article, two are self-referential including her campaign website; one is just the secretary of state for the election results; the "Value Voters Summit" link is to the VVS webpage and does not mention her; the "KTTU" link is to the station's webpage, not to the article cited; the only thing that is actually a secondary source about her is the Christianity Today story, which is behind a registration wall but does appear to be about her. That alone does not add up to significant secondary coverage, so she fails WP:N based on what I am seeing. --MelanieN (talk) 00:52, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Unsuccessful political candidate who fails WP:POLITICIAN and WP:GNG. Kittybrewster ☎ 08:59, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails WP:POLITICIAN, WP:AUTHOR, WP:GNG; can be WP:USERFY if article creator so wishes, if additional reliable source references can be found to support move into the main article space, so be it. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 01:16, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
