Notability

Why has this page been deleted? It pretty clearly meets the same notability standards as other candidates who have Wikipedia pages (and by the way, Joe Kent also really needs a page, he's notable for advocacy outside of this race). Bo Hines was a mildly important college football player before becoming a failed candidate; he has a page. Adam Frisch did not have a page before challenging Lauren Boebert, even though he was a minor city politician (most town council members for my hometown, at least, lack pages).

Oh and here are a few more candidates who have pages with similar levels of notability:

- Anna Paulina Luna (before she won)

- Jamie McLeod-Skinner (had a page when she won the primary)

- Mike Erickson (a little more notable as a repeated unsuccessful candidate, but not by that much)

I assume the claim is that she is not notable because a race counts as a single event, but that is clearly not the precedent set previously (Anna Paulina Luna was definitely not notable, calling Bo Hines notable for things besides being a failed candidate is a major stretch). I've also described a 2016 race, so it's not just an article about a 2022 candidate. Yes, there are a lot of failed candidates who lack pages, but I don't see why that isn't an argument for creating pages for them instead of capriciously deleting ones.

@Onel5969 The policy that you have cited only states that being a candidate for office does not necessarily make somebody notable. I have significant reliable coverage, all sources are independent of the subject, and no conflict of interest. Multiple events have also been discussed on this page (primary election, general election, 2016 run), so it meets general notability guidelines. Mcavoybickford (talk) 14:31, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

This is a widely held consensus amongst editors. I haven't looked at the other articles, but WP:OSE is a weak argument to use in any discussion. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:36, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

To add to article

Basic information to add to this article: her mother's name, family background, and ethnic heritage. 2605:A000:FFC0:5F:F9BD:9D:B97C:57D4 (talk) 18:18, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

Personal Life

The property tax bit [1] though well cited, doesn't seem WP:DUE for Personal Life. can you add a bit more reasoning?@Marquardtika Tonymetz 💬 16:25, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

I think a short mention is WP:DUE given the level of coverage this received. See also this and this. It seems like a relevant thing for readers to know when a politician responsible for setting tax and fiscal policies does not pay their own taxes on time.

It doesn't seem to read as an encyclopedia . "she's from washington, she's married with a kid, she's christian, and she was late on her property taxes once". If personal life was more complete, and she had a broader history of financial problems, I think it could fit well. but right now it presents her property tax issue at the same level as her biography Tonymetz 💬 18:25, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

why don't we add more detail about her repair business, earlier political life, community involvement -- things that generally would be in someone's biography? Tonymetz 💬 18:28, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

I think expanding the article is a great idea. The fact that the article isn't comprehensive now isn't a good reason to remove well-sourced info from it, though. Marquardtika (talk) 18:45, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

I added a little as DGF . But I still don't think the property tax issue adds to the story. what story is being told with the property tax line? Tonymetz 💬 21:28, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Never any harm in expanding the article if you can find anything about any of that in reliable sources. Sometimes you'll find the personal life sections in particular of articles aren't very thorough on things that you might be able to find in sources. For example, did you know that as well as being speaker for a day, Patrick McHenry saved the life of a fellow congressman's infant daughter? ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 18:57, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
