- keep - Maura Healey also received significant media coverage prior to the 2014 campaign because she led the challenge to the Federal Defense of Marriage Act here are links to her previous media coverage on reputable news outlets. I am the articles creator and have provided a number of these articles as sources on the page. (DOMA) [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Maura Healey also led the fought for legislation to support access to reproductive healthcare through the 2007 Buffer Zone Law and received substantial media coverage from that. [6] [7] [8] These sources are proof of significant media coverage prior to the 2014 election for Attorney General. Zgreenblatt ( talk) 19:52, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

- Press releases from the office the subject works for or from her campaign do not indicate notability. Neither does the Associated Press article [9], which is largely based on a press release from Healey [10]). The news articles either mention the subject only in passing or in the context of one event (the campaign). Also, op-eds written by the subject do not indicate notability. -- Hirolovesswords ( talk) 20:38, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
- The Associated Press only reports on factual, non-bias news. I do not see why it would not be a legitimate source. If these sources are deleted the page should still be factual considering she has news written about her dating back to 1992. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zgreenblatt ( talk • contribs) 16:52, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
- Also Deborah Goldberg who is running for Massachusetts treasurer has a page but has never held state office before, solely a selectman for Brookline, MA. [11] Joseph Avellone has a page and is a current candidate for Governor of Massachusetts but has yet to be elected. [12]. Maura has participated in numerous national legislative movements and has much press covering this and officially government documents citing her participation. She is more relevant now because of her candidacy but not not known for her candidacy. Maura Healey is credited with being the primary person behind the Attorney General's challenge to the Federal Defense of Marriage Act. She also ran 5 bureaus in the Attorney General office before her resignation. This can be found in multiple news outlets but is all included in this Boston Globe article. [13] If however, there is anything I can do to further prove her notability or improve the page please let me know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zgreenblatt ( talk • contribs) 17:20, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
- keep. I have carefully read the sources and they seem to be legitimate even if information is from a press release. It was still reported in US national news outlet. I do not think that such an individual would run for such an important position if she was an unknown or had no support.
