  • Delete: The politician is in the aspirational phase, so no notability. In addition, the article is misnamed, so whoever wrote it didn't even care enough to name it Reakash Walters. Hithladaeus ( talk) 12:17, 2 June 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete So they're in the running to become a party candidate for an election. Definitely fails WP:TOOSOON, WP:NPOLITICIAN and WP:GNG. Joseph2302 ( talk) 12:23, 2 June 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per everyone above. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 13:38, 2 June 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Unelected candidates for office do not pass WP:NPOL just for being candidates, either in a party's internal primary/nomination contest or on the general election ballot — if you cannot credibly and reliably source that she already passed a Wikipedia inclusion rule for some other reason before she became a candidate, then she does not become eligible for an article on here until she wins the election (and just to clarify in case there's still any doubt, it's the big enchilada on October 19 that she has to win to qualify for an article on here, not just the nomination.) And nothing else in the article either claims or sources anything that would put her over a different notability rule instead of NPOL. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in October if she wins the seat. Bearcat ( talk) 00:31, 3 June 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per not being notable, as shown above. RoadWarrior445 ( talk) 06:20, 7 June 2015 (UTC) reply
