The result was redirect to United States Senate election in Alaska, 1996. --BDD (talk) 16:24, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
While many editors have advanced solid arguments for deletion, generally based on her failure of WP:POLITICIAN, per WP:POLOUTCOMES her name remains a likely search term, so redirecting to the election she participated in is sensible. I'm not convinced by the sources presented in favor of a WP:GNG argument. It's natural that the Anchorage press would give coverage to an Anchorage school board member, but keeping on this basis would, frankly, set a terrible precedent. As for the 39 Google Books results (discounting books from Wikipedia), they're mostly political almanacs where she's no more than a list mention. There are also mentions of other people by the same name, such as a figure associated with Beethoven.
When notability of a local politician isn't conclusively demonstrated, WP:POLOUTCOMES offers the best guidance. --BDD (talk) 18:28, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
