PROD deleted by article creator. Non-notable politician who lost House of Representatives election. Fails WP:NPOL as the subject has only served as the mayor of Palestine, Texas and fails WP:GNG as the subject lacks sufficient in-depth coverage from reliable sources.

Delete. Non-winning political candidate. The sourcing provided/available is routine election coverage. (Also, an e-mail... what?) Nothing in-depth to suggest WP:GNG or any other notability criterion is met. --Kinu ^t/_c 15:13, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Defeated candidates for the US House of Representatives are almost never notable. Wikipedia is not a platform for candidates to post their campaign bios/drum up support, and that is clearly what is being done here with the first reference being a link to twitter.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:59, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete A fairly routine defeated candidate. Doesn't even look like she had much of a following, and she's barely tweeting anymore... Nohomersryan (talk) 07:34, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in elections they did not win; the notability test for politicians is holding a notable office, not just running for one. But there's no other claim here that she had preexisting notability for other reasons independently of an unsuccessful candidacy, and no evidence that her candidacy was markedly more special than everybody else's candidacies in the sense that any significant number of people would still be looking for an article about her ten years from now just because of her candidacy itself.

Delete Failed political candidate does not meet WP:NPOL. Bkissin (talk) 14:50, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Although I have created the article, after having seen the majority consensus, I, hereby in good faith, endorse the deletion.
