Not notable. She has never been elected to parliament in any of her attempts having only gained a maximum of approximately 1.64% of the vote in any electorates she has run in. Never been a officer holder of any major political party. Her attempts at authorship and not notable either. Almost all mentions of her in the media are to do with her outbursts or bizarre behaviour around election times and she is forgotten once elections are over. Current media attention is momentary and she will be once again forgotten once the court case passes. All in an all a very unnotable person whose existence is not encyclopedic.

- Keep, obviously. I don't know what part of GNG you think it fails, but as far as I can tell, it meets those requirements. --Pokelova (talk) 13:10, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
- She lacks significant coverage. The coverage she has is almost exclusively confined to her outbursts during election campaigns. This is not significant coverage. talk 13:15, 19 April 2022 (UTC)]

- Comment More coverage over her criminal history, seems to be notable. Oaktree b (talk) 16:03, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
- Delete I do not think the subject meets the guidelines for fringe subjects, and her actions clearly put her on the fringe, so those are the guidelines we should consider when evaluating the article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:12, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
- Johnpacklambert, I'm unaware of the fringe subject guidelines. Could you please post a link? Schwede66 01:12, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

- Keep - WP:FRINGE guideline says,]
a Wikipedia article should not make a fringe theory appear more notable or more widely accepted than it is
, andreliable sources must be cited that affirm the relationship of the marginal idea to the mainstream idea in a serious and substantial manner
, and this appears to be well-covered by the Legal issues section of the article. Beccaynr (talk) 20:00, 19 April 2022 (UTC) - Keep. I am satisfied there's enough to meet ]
- Keep There's decent and sustained coverage, including relating to her arrest for involvement in a bizarre alleged coup plot. Per WP:FRINGEBLP "There are people who are notable enough to have articles included in Wikipedia solely on the basis of their advocacy of fringe beliefs."
