Nomination on the grounds that the subject does not meet the general notability guideline. Clark was a minor party candidate for the Senate 2010, winning only 1% of the vote. None of her activism work in women's rights or civil rights is especially notable. WP:BEFORE is satisfied; searching for sources hits the usual candidacy pages, facebooks, etc... When limited to the news, she receives trivial coverage in the Times Union and a HuffPo blog, as well as a Green Party press release, all of which are insufficient in establishing notability.

- Redirect- To United States Senate election in New York, 2012, where she is already appropriately mentioned; readers deserve to be sent to the current election. Dru of Id (talk) 02:27, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- IMO I'd rather see it deleted outright. If it was a candidate from a major party or at least a 3rd party that saw significant electoral support I would go for a redirect. But in her only run to date, this person garnered 1% of the vote. There has to be a threshold for what a fringe candidate is, and IMO this is it. Tarc (talk) 13:10, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- If it's deleted, readers get to go to a page that shows it's been deleted; industrious ones then have to wade through one of these, and the butterflies and Montgomery are irrelevent (to her, the Green Party, and the election, just to clarify). Anyone currently searching is most likely to be doing so in the context of the current election. Sending them is cheap. Dru of Id (talk) 02:53, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
