She's a mayor - doesn't pass
wp:POLITICIAN (I think). Dutch Wikipedia doesn't help much - she has a page but her only reference appears to be the Green Party. Google doesn't help much. DeleteNeonchameleon (

Comment She comes close to
WP:POLITICIAN, but probably not quite there. Mayors can pass
WP:POLITICIAN but that usually requires both that their position is executive rather than ceremonial and that the area concerned is important enough - she passes on the first but a suburb of Amsterdam with a population of 25,000 doesn't pass the second (unless her 15 years in this and equivalent positions counts). What probably gets her rather closer is being a senior member of the
Congress of the Council of Europe - an international body with some indirect legislative powers but probably insufficient to count as a legislature. On
WP:GNG, she gets enough Google hits about both her local and international activities that she may very well pass - unfortunately, with Google News archive searches not available, I have no method of filtering through to hits likely to be reliable enough to be worth looking at. Does anyone else?

delete She's the mayor of a pretty small place, and membership on a council isn't enough to establish notability.

CommentDoes anyone have a source that confirms she's a mayor? The article doesn't even mention it.
Mkdwtalk 05:00, 1 February 2014 (UTC) The place where she is mayor is very small and does not seem to meet
WP:POLITICIAN. As for her work in the Congress of the Council of Europe, I am uncertain the depth of influence that body has. She does not appear to meet
WP:SIGCOV. Hard to weight inherent notability on her position against
WP:POLITICIAN on this one.

What's she the mayor of? Mayors are definitely not inherently notable. --

Diemen, a suburb of Amsterdam, according to the Dutch Wikipedia article (and other sources).
