The result was redirect to United States Senate election in Alaska, 1996. -- BDD ( talk) 16:24, 16 September 2013 (UTC) reply
While many editors have advanced solid arguments for deletion, generally based on her failure of WP:POLITICIAN, per WP:POLOUTCOMES her name remains a likely search term, so redirecting to the election she participated in is sensible. I'm not convinced by the sources presented in favor of a WP:GNG argument. It's natural that the Anchorage press would give coverage to an Anchorage school board member, but keeping on this basis would, frankly, set a terrible precedent. As for the 39 Google Books results (discounting books from Wikipedia), they're mostly political almanacs where she's no more than a list mention. There are also mentions of other people by the same name, such as a figure associated with Beethoven.
When notability of a local politician isn't conclusively demonstrated, WP:POLOUTCOMES offers the best guidance. -- BDD ( talk) 18:28, 21 September 2013 (UTC) reply
Marginal notability (though perhaps enough to pass), but subject has requested deletion. IMO, given the notability thing, there's no reason not to grant this request, though others may disagree. Writ Keeper ⚇ ♔ 20:25, 9 September 2013 (UTC) reply

And these are only the ones where she is actually in the title of the article... 17 articles, spanning 10 years, but not notable? Strange... Fram ( talk) 07:06, 11 September 2013 (UTC) reply
Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage. There are more than a dozen articles about her, with her name in the title, along a decade, listed above by Fram. -- cyclopia speak! 08:57, 15 September 2013 (UTC) reply
