Nothing stops anybody from trying to create an article about absolutely anything or anybody who exists at all, so the existence of any article about a superficially similar topic is never in and of itself a valid reason why another article gets a guaranteed inclusion freebie. Gary Trauner, in fact, may need to be deleted as well — but his inclusion or exclusion is irrelevant to whether Jane Raybould qualifies or not, because each article is evaluated on its own merits or lack thereof: "if he has an article then she has to have an article too" is not a thing.

She has a lot of influence over Nebraska, given that her family runs a chain of stores.
