The result was delete. Participants rightly pointed out that county boards of education are not covered by WP:NPOL. The article may be re-created when the subject holds a country/state-wide office or when sufficient sources are available. Modussiccandi (talk) 19:53, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete school board members are almost never notable. This article provides no substance on the subjects actions as a member of the board, but even if we had something, it would need to be to the level of articles in publictations far from where the person lived that provided indepth coverage of them, not just coverage about a vote that they participated in that got widespread coverage.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:24, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep after adding the information about Raaheela and added references from reliable resources. She is the elected politician of Prince George's County Board of Education in Maryland, representing District 5. Passes WP:NPOL. Blaster Oak (talk) 07:43, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

County boards of education don't pass WP:NPOL. The lowest level of office that does that is the state legislature — and even that's holding a state legislature seat, not just running for one, so the fact that she's running for a state legislature seat doesn't help.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete. A county board of education is not an WP:NPOL-passing office in its own right; school board members are notable only if they can show and source a credible case for why they should be seen as much more nationally significant than most other school board members. But this shows nothing of the sort, and is referenced much, much more to primary sources that are not support for notability at all (the self-published websites of organizations she's directly affiliated with, raw tables of election results, etc.) than WP:GNG-worthy media coverage — and even her current candidacy for a state senate seat is not a notability booster, because the notability test for state legislators is holding a state legislature seat, not just running for one. So no prejudice against recreation in November if she wins the state legislature election, but nothing here is already enough today. Bearcat (talk) 17:33, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
