Delete. Minimally sourced WP:BLP of a political candidate, whose only claims of notability are being the first LGBT person to run for mayor (but not win) in her own city and being a non-winning write-in candidate for state governor. Neither of these constitute a WP:NPOL pass in and of themselves; there might be a case for inclusion on "first LGBT candidate" grounds if she were the first in the entire United States, but not if she's merely the first in Charlotte, NC -- and non-winning gubernatorial candidates don't get an automatic inclusion freebie just for having their name on a ballot either. For a political candidate to get a Wikipedia article because candidate per se, she normally has to win the election and thereby become an actual officeholder, not just run in it -- with extremely rare exceptions on the order of the media firestorm that fried Christine O'Donnell, the only other path to notability for a non-winning candidate for office is to show that she was already notable enough for an article for some other reason separate from being a candidate (e.g. she was already a noted writer or actress or athlete, or a holder of another notable political office). But nothing here demonstrates preexisting notability, so she doesn't qualify for an article because candidate. Bearcat ( talk) 23:41, 11 December 2016 (UTC) reply

• Delete She was an indepdent write-in candidate, this is no where near meeting any inclusion criteria. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 19:41, 12 December 2016 (UTC) reply
