Inadequately sourced article about a person notable only as a county councillor. As always, people at the county level of government are not handed an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL #2 just because they exist -- to qualify for a Wikipedia article, a county supervisor needs to show a volume and depth and range of reliable source coverage that suggests she's got a credible claim to being substantially more notable than most other county councillors. But this doesn't suggest that at all: it cites just six local media hits. of which three just include her giving soundbite in an article about something else rather than being about her for the purposes of helping to get her over WP:GNG, and three are from a community hyperlocal webmedia startup rather than a notability-supporting major media outlet. Every county councillor in North America could always show a handful of local coverage in the local media, so this is not enough coverage to make her a special notability case among an otherwise not inherently notable class of topic.

- Delete Nothing to indicate this minor local politician is especially notable per WP:NPOL. No sources to demonstrate significant coverage. AusLondonder (talk) 00:25, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
- Delete county council members are not automatically notable; and there appears to be no alternative claim to notability here. E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:09, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
