Mayor of a small city with less than 25,000 people. Mayors are not inherently just because they exist and pass WP:NPOL. The only in-depth sources are her official website, and her about on the city of Milwaukie website. FatCat96 (talk) 03:17, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. Milwaukie OR (not Milwaukee WI) is not a prominent enough city that its mayors would get a presumption of notability just for existing — but this is based too heavily on primary source verification of her election results rather than the substantive coverage and analysis in reliable sources that it would take to pass NPOL #2. The notability test for municipal-level politicians is not passed just by minimally verifying that the person exists — it's passed by writing and sourcing a substantial article about her political impact: specific things she did, specific projects she spearheaded, specific effects her mayoralty had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. But this is the former, not the latter, and thus doesn't meet the necessary standard. Bearcat (talk) 15:01, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Already brought to AFD twice before so Soft Deletion is not an option.

- Delete - I have been unable to locate any specific biographical details in reliable secondary sources to support notability. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:06, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
