WP:BLP of a politician, not properly sourced as having any claim to passing WP:NPOL. As always, non-winning candidates do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates -- the notability bar for politicians at NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one, while candidates get articles only if either (a) they already have some other claim of notability for some other reason besides being an unsuccessful election candidate, or (b) they can demonstrate a credible reason why their candidacy should be seen as much more special than everybody else's candidacies, in some way that would satisfy the ten year test for enduring importance. But this demonstrates neither of those things, and is referenced to a mixture of primary sources that are not support for notability at all, and run of the mill local campaign coverage of the type that every candidate in every election can always show, which does not constitute evidence that she's earned special treatment that other unelected candidates aren't getting.

• :Weak delete Limited coverage after the election, this is all I find [https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/brenda-siegel-vermont-dems-homelessness/]. If there were a few more articles, I'd be ok as she would be a notable activist. Otherwise, not meeting BLP. Oaktree b (talk) 13:35, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
• Delete we have a long standing policy that one does not get a Wikipedia page simply for having lost an election. She can be adequately covered on the pages for the elections in which she was a candidate. SportingFlyer T·C 10:09, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
