Individual does not appear to meet notability requirements required for politicians or activists. ALPolitico (talk) 03:57, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

She's a major party nom for Senate. You sure? --108.33.71.212 (talk) 18:17, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Being a major party nominee for office does not mean that one meets Wikipedia's notability requirements. Should Snow win or come close, then she may meet that threshold. However, as it stands, she does not. ALPolitico (talk) 07:21, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Her notability comes from being "...one of the first two openly transgender people in the United States representing a major political party to be a candidate for a national office, and the first to become a nominee for the United States Senate..." That is a valid claim for notability and her press coverage easily passes WP:GNG. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:32, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

One event WP:BLP1E, candidates don't pass WP:POLITICIAN unless they pass WP:N so their involvement in politics is a moot point except for the fact that it is the reason they are being covered in the news. Which, coming full circle, is only because of one event.--Savonneux (talk) 11:24, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The coverage she's garnered is enough to pass WP:GNG and WP:NBIO, probably due to the LGBT rights aspect, which establishes notability. Colonel Wilhelm Klink (^Complaints|_Mistakes) 02:39, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is another article on a non-notable candidate for public office.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:06, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Anna. Significant coverage, passes GNG easily. Unique candidate, not just your average office-seeker. Victoria Woodhull also was a first-time losing candidate from a disenfranchised group. Montanabw^(talk) 22:25, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Who was also the first woman to own a stock brokerage, one of the firsts to own a newspaper, noted suffragist, testified in front of the House Judiciary Committee on women's rights, and had a Broadway musical written about her. Compared to someone who is a candidate for office.--Savonneux (talk) 09:37, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notable for being the Democratic nominee for Senate in Utah in 2016. Add to that that she's the first openly transgender candidate nationwide for Senate. No matter how you slice it, her name will always be there when people look for the results of this Senate race.
