[edit] Heather Anne Harder

Non-notable figure. A really really minor candidate in the US 2000 presidential election, but got nothing from it. This sounds like it could mean notability...how many people were candidates in that election anyway? Could anyone apply? Is she notable for running for such a major election?

  • Comment Of course anyone can "apply" -- run -- for an office and for President, many do. She ran for the Democratic nomination, though, not as a party nominee or independent, and she only got 1500 votes in 2000; but when she ran in 1996 she got 29,500 or so. From what I can tell she may only have been on the ballot in a handful of states each time, so I'm leaning delete. --Dhartung | Talk 04:05, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I can see that a candidate who stood who got no or little votes 'could' be notable. There would be worldwide coverage of this notable failure. However the references shown do not show this level of notability. Is the notability as an author or a politician? If its the latter then lets see the refs to news articles and pundits doing biog's.

  • Delete. Spectacularly non-notable minor candidate, no evidence that she meets WP:BIO. I have looked through her google hits, and find no non-trivial coverage of her candidacy, and only promotional coverage of he other career. She possibly, but only possibly, merits a brief mention in a footnote to List of really obscure minor Texan candidates for POTUS, but nothing more. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:54, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:BIO. No independent sources have been provided; the only sources are the candidate's own writings and her campaign website. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 09:28, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
