WP:BLP of a person whose only stated or sourced claim of notability is as an as yet non-winning candidate in a future election -- but as always, the notability test for people in federal elections is winning the seat, not just being a candidate for it. The only other potential basis for notability here is a court case stemming from a car accident, which just makes her a
WP:BLP1E and is not a reason why she would pass the
ten-year test as a topic of enduring notability -- and the claims that she's been a para-athlete are not referenced to any evidence that she's achieved anything that would get her over
WP:NATHLETE at all (where the notability test is not just "every athlete who exists" either.) As always, no prejudice against recreation on or after October 20 if she wins -- but Wikipedia is not a free webhost for candidates' campaign brochures, and nothing here is a reason why she would already qualify for an article today. GNG is not just "any subject whose name generates two or more media hits", but rather it tests for additional issues such as the depth of how substantively any given source is or isn't about her, and the context of what she's getting coverage for.

Her case was "all over the news" in a strictly
WP:BLP1E way, not in a way that would already get her over the
ten-year test for enduring significance independently of whether she wins the election or not. If she wins the seat, then obviously it will be relevant background on a person who passes
WP:NPOL — but if she doesn't win the seat, the court case isn't its own reason why people would still be looking for her anyway.

Delete Coverage is about her lawsuit which falls under
WP:BLP1E and
WP:NOTNEWS. Doesn't meet any SNG. Of course if she's elected to the Canadian Parliament in October, she will be notable as a politician--but right now it's
WP:TOOSOON.

Keep. Combination of athlete status in major competition and abundance of secondary sources indicates
WP:GNG even if no specific criteria is met. Further reasoning: though her military service would not pass notability per
WP:SNG, meets the spirit of "people are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject" — Preceding

The Invictus Games aren't a "major competition" on the level of the Olympics. Participating athletes might be notable if they get press coverage about their accomplishments at the games, but do not get automatic notability freebies just for being there — but none of the sources here are about her accomplishments as an athlete at all, indicating that she's not notable for that. And what the sources are covering her for just makes her a
WP:BLP1E.

Delete Per
WP:NOTNEWSPAPER and
WP:TOOSOON. If she wins the seat, then this article can be recreated, but as of now the car accident coverage, being a minor athlete, and a political candidate are not enough to satisfy any notability guidelines.

I struck your most recent vote because you can only vote once per AfD. You can comment as often as you want, but only vote once.

delete Definitely not notable as an athlete. Her lawsuit was one event and doesn't make her notable. If she wins her election, then the article can be recreated.
