She is a political candidate for a local election who has never held political office and despite the local controversy she does not appear to be otherwise notable Grahame (talk) 01:11, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Minor, local government, never yet elected politician. Not yet notable. Single event controversy, not isolated, to her. Perhaps as best WP:TOOSOON. Aoziwe (talk) 11:36, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete.She is just a political candidate and has not made any revolutionary step to be notable in the field of politics so clearly fails WP:NPOL and the lack of reliable independent sources fails the notabilityWP:GNG.Vinodbasker (talk) 12:48, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Being a city council candidate is not a notability claim that gets a person into Wikipedia in and of itself, and any controversy about her outside affiliations just makes her a WP:BLP1E no matter how widely it gets covered. And there's no serious claim to preexisting notability as a journalist, either, since other than the "background mentions of her prior career" in the campaign coverage (which is not how you make a person's prior career notable enough to override their lack of notability as a politician), the only other source for her journalism career is a piece in which she's the bylined author and not the subject of the coverage.
