WP:BLP of a county commissioner, not properly referenced as the subject of sufficient media coverage to pass WP:NPOL #2. As always, county commissioners are not "inherently" notable just because they exist -- at this level of political office, the notability test is not passed by using two or three hits of purely local coverage in the local media to verify the fact of her election, but by showing extensive coverage and analysis of the significance of her work in the office. But five of the seven footnotes here are primary sources (the county clerk's own self-published records of the election results and a press release from her own prior employer), and the two real media hits left aren't nearly enough to establish that she should be seen as more notable than most other county commissioners.

Comments - as a Cook County commissioner, she has political power over a large, populated area. Please ping me if you can find more sources. Bearian (talk) 18:18, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The size of a local jurisdiction is not a notability freebie under WP:NPOL. Large county or small county, a county commissioner is still a county commissioner who has to be judged under WP:NPOL #2 on the depth and quality of her sourceability. Bearcat (talk) 16:52, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Redirect to Cook County Board of Commissioners#Commissioners. Article should be deleted before redirect because it is a largely unsourced BLP. BLPs need clearly Ind RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notabilty to avoid abuse.
