Non-notable politician, not convinced this passes
WP:GNG. Most of this article is dedicated to her failing to get elected - I'm not sure how being a candidate alone is enough to warrant an article. It seems her only achievement is being a councillor for a while. — Czello13:25, 3 May 2022 (UTC)reply
Keep (original author of article). Missvain gave a list of RS to show notability in the previous nomination. Selecting the 5 strongest from that list, plus one strong one from the article. I think it's quite clear the subjects meets
WP:GNG. Two elections made national press (2015/2019), so
WP:BLP1E does not apply.
Delete - Non-notable politician whose only coverage in reliable sources is her failed candidacy. Her career as a Councillor alone does not seem to establish enough notability.

Keep. Arguments for deletion are no more coherent or convincing than last time. A familiar straw man is rolled out by the nominator, who's right to note that "being a candidate alone is [not] enough to warrant an article", but is apparently unaware that
significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject, as exists here, is enough to warrant an article. In case anyone wants to claim, as a few did at the last AfD, that the coverage of Wright amounts to no more than is expected of any failed parliamentary candidate, my
invitation to show similar coverage for the other unsuccessful candidates who stood in the same constituency in the same elections still applies. –
