Deletion of Candy Carson

Comment: We keep articles on people with far less coverage and who don't have 4 books and a 5th about to be released. Which Carson do you think wrote the books - the one doing brain surgery and flying around giving speaches or the double Yale major with the MBA back in the home office?  As for coverage start with http://heavy.com/news/2015/08/candy-carson-ben-republican-presidential-nominee-first-lady-scholars-primaries-debate/ http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/presidential-campaign/257849-with-ben-carson-a-contender-a-look-at-wife-candy http://www.theroot.com/articles/culture/2015/09/the_joke_about_mrs_ben_carson_s_appearance_is_no_laughing_matter.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ashley-mae-hunt/offensive-sexist-joke-candy-carson-michelle-obama_b_8350262.html http://www.westernjournalism.com/watch-candy-carson-just-showed-why-showed-why-some-are-calling-her-the-anti-michelle-obama/http://www.latinpost.com/articles/89616/20151025/who-is-candy-carson-ben-carsons-wife-profile-a-glimpse-of-her-role-in-the-republican-election-campaign.htmhttp://townhall.com/columnists/michellemalkin/2015/09/09/meet-candy-carson-the-antimichelle-obama-n2049580/page/fullhttp://www.bustle.com/articles/102450-who-is-ben-carsons-wife-candy-carson-is-also-an-accomplished-violinisthttp://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/07/06/exclusive-candy-carson-talks-about-her-40-year-wedding-anniversary-with-dr-ben-carson-faith-and-campaigning/ http://carsonscholars.org/our-people/ and if you want to know more I suggest buying her 5th book http://www.amazon.com/Doctor-House-Life-Ben-Carson/dp/1595231242 because one of her books spend weeks on the best seller list. She passes just on  "The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work..." and based on the multiple profiles published on her going back for years

Comment: She's written several books. That makes her notable as an author. She's also the subject of numerous media stories. True, her notability ''originated'' because she is married to a prominent political figure, but Colin Hanks' notability originated because he is the son of a famous actor, and he has developed his own career.  doesn't mean that we can't create articles about people whose notability began because of their relationship to a prominent person

Comment: That Wikipedia has an enormous number of articles about individuals notable for being spouses of politicians (categorized by state)  Typical example: Chloe Merrick Reed.  The political spouse does not have to write books, have a significant career or do anything.

We are only here to judge whether sources that support notability exist.  In Candy Carson's case, they do

Comment: I'm sure being married to a major political person has helped with the number of media stories about her, but she also seems to have a notable writing career in her own right. On the basis that she has been noted in the media and other secondary sources, I think therefore it is hard to argue against her inclusion on  grounds. Yes, I appreciate notoriety is not inherited, but in a situation like this is it quite hard to separate different aspects of her life. Maybe people even read her work ''because'' she is married to a politician, who knows
