Delete. I am usually a huge inclusionist, but there is barely anything on her in Google and an article that consists of a name and mention of a conviction is a BLP violation.

Keep A credible claim of notability, backed by appropriate reliable and verifiable sources in the article already in addition to other sources available online. This is a work in progress and substantial progress has already been made by editors in expanding this article since the AfD was begun.

Keep Meets GNG easily. She was in news 1994, again in 2002, and again in 2010. Not a
WP:BLP1E issue. She was the first female African-American to serve as Mayor of Irvington, New Jersey in 1994. She was the first African-American to head the Women Mayors Division of the United States Conference of Mayors. All have nothing to do with the crime she was convicted of in 2002. --

Keep - An elected mayor of a city of over 50,000 who was sentenced to, and served time in, Federal Prison. This makes the subject a notable public figure in New Jersey history. Adequate sources already showing in the footnotes for a GNG pass; also passes the POLITICIAN SNG based on the mayoralty, in my opinion.

Keep I've gone back and forth on this but comes down to she is notable. First female black mayor of Irvington, New Jersey and first to head federal mayors conference are accomplishments. Her convictions are public record, not opinion, nor simply charges. Don't see that the article unduly focuses on the negative.
