Even at the presidential level, non-winning candidates are still not granted an automatic inclusion freebie just for existing as candidates. Major party candidates typically receive enough coverage to clear  ''regardless'' of whether they won or lost, and normally already have other preexisting notability claims for other reasons prior to running for president ''anyway'' — but minor or fringe candidates don't necessarily have either of those things, and "was a minor presidential candidate" is ''not'' a strong enough notability claim to ''exempt'' a minor or fringe candidate from having to have either of those things. But the references here are almost all |primary sources that do not help to establish notability at all, and the only one that's actually media coverage is a blurb in her own hometown newspaper. That's not enough coverage to make a fringe candidate notable ''regardless'' of what office she was running for
