Random congressional candidate who's never received any national news coverage whatsoever. Blatant violation of WP:GNG and WP:NPOL BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 03:06, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

- I believe that getting 6.6% as a third party candidate is notable, along with the fact that she has received a substantial amount of Utah-specific coverage and been invited to several debates she is considered notable. Microplastic Consumer (talk) 13:08, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- Getting 6% of the vote most definitely does *not* make you notable. Take a look through the list of notable third-party performances in US elections and see how many of the third-party candidates have Wikipedia pages. I would argue that, based on WP:1E, it's not possible for anyone to be notable solely based on their performance in one election. And no, getting some routine campaign coverage within the state of Utah doesn't make her notable either. As WP:NPOL says: "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability." BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 19:56, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
