[[WP:BLP]] of a person who as of today is notable only as an as yet unelected candidate for political office. As always, this is not grounds for a Wikipedia article in and of itself — the notability test at [[WP:NPOL]] is ''holding'' a notable political office, not just running for one, and neither predictions about their prospects of winning nor the historic firsts that they ''will'' represent ''if'' they win make them notable just for being candidates either. The existence of a couple of hits of campaign coverage also does not hand candidates a GNG-based exemption from NPOL, because ''every'' candidate can ''always'' show a couple of hits of campaign coverage. As well, the fact that the election is only a couple of weeks away, and thus the article will have to be recreated if she wins, is not a valid reason to waive policy in the meantime: if we were to set a rule that there was a moratorium on deleting premature campaign brochures for unelected candidates X days out from the election, then every candidate in the country could just suddenly flood Wikipedia with their campaign brochures on day X for that last minute publicity push — so no matter how close the election is, we still have to treat articles about unelected candidates exactly the same right now as we would any other time. Obviously no prejudice against recreation if she wins, but nothing stated here entitles her to already have an article in ''advance'' of the election.

*'''Draftify or Delete''' - Does not currently meet [[WP:NPOL]] because they do not hold political office. If she wins in November, then she would meet the guidelines. If it makes more sense to move this to draftspace for now or to delete and start from scratch, that is up to other editors.

*'''Delete''' unelected candidate for public office are not notable.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 15:53, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
*'''Comment''' The standard for an unelected candidates for state legislature is delete under [[WP:NPOL]] as expressed in [[WP:POLOUTCOMES]], and as such, this page should be deleted/draftified. With the election in 15 days (as of this post), I do believe it makes certain sense to wait, despite the very valid concerns raised by Bearcat about this project being flooded with campaign brochures for a last-minute publicity push. --[[User:Enos733|Enos733]] ([[User talk:Enos733|talk]]) 15:55, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' The subject meets general [[WP:N]] standards. [[User:Lastchapter|Lastchapter]] ([[User talk:Lastchapter|talk]]) 17:56, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
::If the subject doesn't pass [[WP:NPOL]], and doesn't have enough sourcing to clear the deliberately high bar that we set to ''prevent'' Wikipedia from devolving into a repository of campaign brochures for everybody who ever ran as a candidate for anything, then how does she meet general N standards?
