WP:BLP of an activist and unsuccessful political candidate, which isn't making or
properly sourcing a genuinely strong claim of notability. There are claims here ("She was president of the Quebec Native Women (FAQ), then Canada's Aboriginal Women (NWAC).") that could get her an article if that was where the
WP:WEIGHT of substance and sourcing were actually being placed, but this, as written, is fundamentally a campaign brochure about a political candidate, which just glancingly résumés her prior career background by listing jobs she happened to hold but failing to delve into any substance about anything she did in those jobs -- there's actually more substance here about her mother's activism than there is about hers, and the strongest GNG-worthy source in the entire article is just being used to support the name of her husband rather than any content that would actually be relevant to determining whether she passed a notability standard or not. Basically, this is a
nuke and pave situation -- even if she can be shown as having sufficient notability as an activist, this article as written and sourced is not what it takes to get her there.

Keep Being a failed candidate for office does not erase your existing notability. Audette meets
WP:GNG and has been covered in-depth for her work.

Keep There is a great deal of information on her - radio interviews, press. She is solidly notable and meets WP:GNG

comment interesting that you should nominate this article, but not
Khalil Ramal. could it be that there is some bias, in your targets of deletion? what standard of press coverage do you have, if any?

To be fair, Ramal is an MLA, and the bright line in the notability standards makes it clear that he'd be a keep. Audette is a keep based on
WP:GNG but there is no bright line.

Khalil Ramal holds elected office, and so his notability is not up for any debate at all. Non-winning candidates are not extended the same automatic presumption of notability that the winners get — what has to be shown to make Audette notable enough for a Wikipedia article is a depth of press coverage about her activism that certainly may exist but wasn't shown in the article as written.
