WP:BLP of a businessperson and as yet unelected mayoral candidate, whose claims of notability are "referenced" to primary sources rather than any evidence of reliable source coverage apart from one short blurb in one listicle. Neither businesspeople nor non-winning mayoral candidates get an automatic notability freebie just because their own self-published web presence technically verifies that they exist -- her professional career might get her over our inclusion standards if enough reliable source coverage about it in media could be shown to get her over GNG (her candidacy for mayor, conversely, does not assist in demonstrating encyclopedic notability in and of itself), but nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to pass GNG. No prejudice against recreation in November if she wins the mayoralty, but nothing here is enough to already get her an article today. Bearcat (talk) 17:42, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I completely disagree with the above assessment. I've worked alongside Shauna Sylvester in the past, but have no connection with her now. I can attest that she has been the subject of extensive media coverage for her work on energy dialogue issues, and she has won multiple awards for her contributions to the Centre for Dialogue. I will track some reliable source coverage and cite them in the article. Jamesglave (talk) 02:22, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
