non-notable. Being a columnist even for a national newspaper is not necessarily notability . Being a candidate for an election doesn't add to it.Obviously, if she does win the election for the Dail, she will then be notable, but not until that. DGG ( talk ) 04:04, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

keep but tag for notability - article should be enhanced and deleted later if better sources don't turn up. I found quite a few sources for her. She is well known in her circle of influence. DangerDogWest (talk) 06:28, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Hunt is notable in Ireland as a high profile journalist for a leading national newspaper. A google search brings up thousands of references, including some detailed pieces [1] [2] The page clearly needs to be expanded but I wonder if Hunt had been a pro-life journalist would DGG have nominated her? His views on social issues shouldn't be allowed influence who is notable or not. :/ Reggiegal (talk) 04:00, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

this is the first time I've been told anything about her views on abortion. It wasn't in the article; it wasn't in the cited refs; and it isn't even in the 2 columns you've just linked to. (And for that matter, how do you know what my own views on the subject might be? I don't think I've discussed them on wiki.) If you think there's substantial published comment by others on her views , you can try an new article. DGG ( talk ) 05:14, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No evidence of notability. Another election candidate special, standing for election does not make a person notable. If she is a "famous journalist" in Ireland, I must be reading the wrong newspapers/listening to the wrong radio/watching the wrong TV shows as I've never heard of her. If she was really notable, she would have had an article ages ago. Snappy (talk) 17:36, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Searches did not turn up enough in-depth coverage to show they meet the notability criteria. The two references provided above as "detailed pieces" are primary sources, and therefore invalid for notability purposes. The lack of WP:AGF from the same editor is also of some concern.
