Claims to fame are being chief of police of Orlando, Florida, and an unsuccessful candidate for state legislature; does not meet WP:NPOL. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 20:42, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep meets WP:GNG. Has significant coverage from independent reliable sources. Plus, WP:GNG > WP:NPOL. --Mr. Guye (talk) 21:39, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Incline to agree that the biographical entry may not have seen its last use and would only have to be reconstructed if Ms Demmings returns to the political arena in the 2016 cycle. It is not quite candid to assert that her only claim to political prominence was 'as an unsuccessful candidate for the state legislature' when she had support for a bid for the United States Congress only 2 cycles ago. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christopher H Walker (talk • contribs) 15:18, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep as per Mr. Guye. GNG > POL.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 00:50, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: See [1][2][3][4][5][6], and all the sources in the article. Although almost a WP:BLP1E case, there are multiple events that the subject is notable for. Clearly meets WP:BASIC due to the coverage in reliable sources, and below WP:BIO#Additional criteria, it says: Failure to meet these criteria (in this case, WP:NPOL) is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included.

Keep. Chief of police of a large enough department to make her notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:44, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
