Weak Delete and RedirectBurnley (UK Parliament constituency). The article as it stands has to go as it's an obvious CV article. She's more notable than most second-place candidates because it was a close run with the Lib Dems, but the coverage seems to be almost exclusively local and run-of-the mill. Fair play to her for opposing an all-women shortlist and fighting and winning an open selection contest, but this barely registered interest outside of Lancashire. Who knows, in five years time she may be back.
