Notability is not inherited; subject is not "incumbent" (never elected) and sole claim to notability is as the spouse of a notable individual. No content in article. Fails

Keep. I'm finding plenty of third party sources (
[1],
[2],
[3],
[4],
[5],
[6]). Granted, "First Lady" isn't an elected office, but it's nearly certain to attract some attention. --Non-Dropframetalk 17:24, 2 October 2015 (UTC)reply
Redirect to Bruce Rauner in any case as she's going to be best known through him.

Comment There is no issue with a redirect if there is actual content; however, the article does not say anything. If content is actually added from the sources provided by the Keep !votes, then there may be some value. As it stands, it is an empty article with inadequate sourcing, and a redirect and merge is useless, as there is nothing to merge. Scr★pIronIV 14:45, 7 October 2015 (UTC)reply
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,

KeepNotability is not inherited means that being related to someone notable does not automatically confer notability. Inclusion always depends on significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. The sources cited in the expanded article, combined with those identified by Non-Dropframe (except the WBEZ one, which is just a passing mention) are compelling evidence that she meets
WP:BASIC.
