Apparently non-notable British politician, stood as a Conservative in
Rhondda in 2017, where she got about 10% of the vote, and – according to our Rhondda article – the lowest number of Conservative votes in any constituency in mainland Great Britain in 2017. The present puff-piece is a paid-editor effort, with notably poor sourcing (Twitter,
The Sun, something called
Women2Win of which she is apparently a director, the
Conservative Policy Forum etc.). She has various minor positions in the Conservative Party, and gets some coverage in the press. I don't see that it adds up to anything much. Redirect has been attempted twice, but contested.

Note: I should have made clear that although this is paid-editor content, with about all the defects one could expect from someone here to line their own pockets rather than improve the encyclopaedia, some attempt was made at
disclosure, and the article was appropriately submitted and accepted through the AfC process.

Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they did not win — but nothing else here constitutes strong evidence that she clears the notability bar for other reasons independent of her candidacy. Most of the references here are
primary sources that do not count as support for notability at all, and even the ones that are real media mostly represent glancing namechecks of her existence in coverage of other things or people, not coverage that is substantively about her. So there are no grounds to claim that she passes
WP:GNG in lieu of actually achieving anything that would get her over our SNGs for people — and Wikipedia is
WP:NOTLINKEDIN, so a person's existence is not automatically grounds for a Wikipedia article in and of itself.
