Meets notability criteria at WP:POLITICIAN as major local political figure. (1) She has led a local authority for the majority of the last 11 years and has garnered significant press attention as a consequence (e.g. 40 mentions on BBC News website). (2) Candidacy for national office does not confer notability BUT her status is also borne out by selection as Labour's candidate for that particular seat: Blackburn. She is virtually guaranteed to be a member of parliament in less than a month(!) Lilywhites74 (talk) 19:27, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
