Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Iryna Sysoyenko
we've longstanding consensus that members of national legislatures are notable and for many good reasons, not least of which it avoids the systematic bias that would result otherwise. This person verifiably meets . Sysoyenko is covered directly http://nikvesti.com/news/politics/62288 here and gets some biographical coverage https://news.pn/en/politics/120243 here as one of the deputies forming a new parliamentary group. The latter also mentions that she's been covered in Komsomolskaya Pravda in Ukraine|Komsomolskaya Pravda one of the three largest newspapers in the Ukraine. The article also has a side box where she features on a magazine cover, apparently not online, where she gets an article devoted to her, though as that's offline it's hard to evaluate its reliability. Incidentally, the nominator is mistaken about how the electoral system in Ukraine works, it's not a Closed list system, as they seem to believe, so people aren't elected "en masse." It's a mixed system, with some elected from single member constituencies and the rest elected from Open lists, i.e. the party gets a certain number of seats and then the most voted for candidates within the list get those seats. Sysoyenko was elected because her party received more votes than many others *and* she received more votes from the electorate than other candidates of her party. The latter is something which no member of the British or Canadian parliaments can say
