Previously deleted. Does not pass WP:NPOL as she hasn't held state-wide public office, at the very least. Bedivere ( talk) 21:51, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- Keep, meets
WP:GNG, notable state party chair.

- This person, notable primarily as the chair of a state-level political party is not an automatic
WP:NPOL pass, and the article isn't referenced well enough to get them over
WP:GNG. This is not what it takes to make a political operative notable enough for an encyclopedia article. See also previous nomination. Not much has changed ever since. --

- A few things have indeed changed since the last nomination which was 5 years ago. She became state party chair in 2019. She is also notable as the first black woman in the role and received WP:SIGCOV, she is also notable for being a Clinton press secretary and working in his administration, and as a state director for Obama, and several other positions that have attestation in RS.

- Please read WP:POLOUTCOMES. She's not inherently notable for being a local state party chair. Bedivere ( talk) 18:17, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

- Keep - while a state chairperson isn't automatically notable, they can be considered notable if there is evidence. Barnes is in the news again after a successful mid-term election season in 2022. Bearian ( talk) 19:40, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
- Keep meets notability — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.243.255.179 ( talk) 15:44, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep for passing WP:GNG and thus not needing to pass WP:NPOL. Rkieferbaum ( talk) 19:31, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
