WP:BLP of a person notable only as a municipal councillor in a small city and non-winning candidate for higher office. As always, neither of these are
WP:NPOL-passing roles -- unelected candidates get articles only if they have other claims of preexisting notability for other reasons besides the candidacy per se, and municipal councillors get articles only if they can be demonstrated as having a credible claim to being much more special than most other municipal councillors, by virtue of the ability to write and source a substantial article about her political impact. But this demonstrates neither of those things, and instead is referenced solely to her own primary source profile on the city's self-published website and
run of the mill verification that her municipal council elections and unsuccessful run for the legislature happened, which is not enough to make a person notable for this. And no, "first person of her particular ethnic background to do this not otherwise notable thing in her own city" is not a distinction that makes her more special than other small city municipal councillors either. (Note that while four other past or present Whitehorse city councillors do have articles, all four of them have articles because they were MLAs who actually served in the Yukon Legislative Assembly at other times in their careers, and absolutely nobody else has an article just for serving on Whitehorse city council per se.)

Delete: Easily fails
WP:NPOL. Regarding
WP:GNG, the little coverage that exists seems to be routine election coverage.

Weak Keep While her actual accomplishments are nothing special, it appears there are enough sources to meet GNG. ~EDDY(

Keep Meets
WP:BASIC with sources presented by Beccaynr. They're reliable enough IMV.

Delete City council members almost never bass notability. Candidates for public office will almost always get some coverage, but we have consistently decided that this coverage is not in and of itself enough to show notability.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Right now it's sitting in the no consensus zone, but some further analysis of the sourcing presented by Beccaynr versus policy may be of value. Giving this another seven days.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,

Delete running unsuccessfully for political office does not lead to notability, nor does being a mayor of a small city--Whitehosue has 25,000 population--the usual figure or which we generaly codier that being a mayor presumes notability is 100,000. Personally, I would liketo liberalize therule about political candidates, but I have proposed it several times over the years, and consensus has always been against me. There are no special factors here--the coverage is routine and does not meet the substantial 3rd party reliable published sources, not press releases or blogs or postings or mere notices for GNG.

Delete. Non-notable politician per
WP:NPOL. No other significant posts held nor activities done unlike, for example, Pipoy Silva, who became a councilor of Manila and briefly became the Vice Mayor. He was also an actor which merits him an article.HiwilmsTalk 18:44, 21 July 2021 (UTC)reply
