Promotional bio. No significant positions. We do not normally consider chairman of a state party notable, and she';s just been vice-Chairman. I find it curious that the photo selected here shows her presenting an award to someone who is notable, not receiving an award. DGG ( talk ) 16:25, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
- Comment - The news item at ref 1 begins the text with “wife of”. Seems like her political power comes from the hubby. Therefore “notability is not inherited” could be an argument for deletion here. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 16:35, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

- Nothing claimed here gets her past WP:NPOL (nominator is completely correct that we don't confer an automatic presumption of notability on even the chair of a state political party, let alone a vice-chair), and the sourcing (which is mostly to blogs and primary sources, with only two real news articles for reliable source coverage) is not substantive enough to claim WP:GNG. And being married to someone who is notable doesn't boost her notability either. It's also worth noting that the first nomination hinged on the flawed reasoning that merely being mentioned in a couple of news blurbs speculating about possible candidates in an election she didn't actually run in was somehow enough to get her over GNG — but it isn't.
