Comment @2bre99: that's not how we determine notability. Our guideline at WP:POLITICIAN says

The following are presumed to be notable:

Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels. This also applies to people who have been elected to such offices but have not yet assumed them.
Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage.

Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the general notability guideline.

How does she meet these? Doug Weller talk 09:31, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Not a notable politician. SportingFlyer T·C 16:52, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete county board members are not default notable, no matter how populous the county is. No other clear claim to notability and the sources are way below adequate for establishing notability. I know that our notability guidelines create way more notable politicians in New Hampshire than California because New Hampshire has a bigger state legislature. However we have to follow the rules of who is actually notable. So no, we do not allow special pleading based on district size.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:29, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, does not meet WP:NPOLITICIAN or WP:ANYBIO, members of a county board does not cut it, gsearch hits on Spiegel bring up her work as a part of the board only. Coolabahapple (talk) 09:00, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
