The process was the coup. It was a usurpation. She is a member of high society during that time, regardless of her legitimacy, and her tenure length has no bearing on that fact, seeing as how she is defeated as such. In other words, no matter the interpretation of her reign, she very much lived and was defeated as a member of high society. (And you don't have to marry an aristocrat to be a member of high society.)

Kind of like removing the Loyalists category from Corvo's page simply because his time with them was relatively "brief" or because he is no longer such; or removing the Aristocrats from Vera Moray's page because she lives in squalor in old age.

An aristocrat, by definition, is a member of high society, and Delilah very much does qualify as such. The focal point of her character is that she's a badass, highly-intelligent woman who managed to climb from nothing and take the aristocracy by storm. It's constantly highlighted in D2, by both herself, the Outsider and others enamored with her success.

It seems that you have a different interpretation of what an aristocrat is. Does the game have a different definition for the aristocracy? Because I'll admit, I've overlooked it, if so.
