Deletion of Hollie Hughes (politician)

Comment: Hughes is a non-notable party figure and serial candidate for unwinnable seats. We have a longstanding consensus that losing candidates aren't notable and becoming a footnote in constitutional law associated with being a losing candidate doesn't end-run . I also note that Geo Swan's keep vote doesn't actually explain any justification at all beyond an attack on the nominator

Comment: Every'' candidate in ''every'' election ''always'' receives campaign coverage, so the existence of that coverage is ''not'' an automatic GNG pass that hands a candidate a free exemption from having to pass NPOL by ''winning'' the election — campaign coverage ''only'' turns into a GNG pass for a non-winning candidate on the extremely ''rare'' occasion that the candidate has received so bloody much ''more'' coverage, compared to what every other candidate also gets, that she has a serious claim to being ''special''. But that's not what the depth and volume of sourcing here are showing at all — they're just showing the normal and routine coverage that every candidate can simply ''expect'', not a strong case for enduring |"people will still be looking for this article ten years from now" specialitude. And no, "for about a decade Ms Hughes has served on the Liberal Party state executive, and is listed on their website as the country vice-president" isn't a notability freebie either — the way to make that an article-clinching notability claim is to reference it to media coverage she was ''already'' receiving in that role ''before'' she was a candidate for anything, ''not'' mere mentions of it as career background in the campaign coverage, but there are no sources being shown here that meet the correct standard on that count either

Comment: No, this is a clear unsuccessful-candidate  situation. More than likely she'll get a seat at some point, but until she does, absolutely no indication of notability

Comment: Notable. As the entry linked above reminds us, "|significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article" The sources include the national broadcaster, the tagline in the story by the ABC ''political'' correspondent asks "{{Pink|Who is Hollie Hughes: Regional powerbroker set for Fiona Nash's Senate spot}}". Not a local or state senate, the entire nation's. So rather than being 'only known for one event', she was noted for being a "powerbroker" before her second run at the senate, {{Pink|"For about a decade Ms Hughes has served on the Liberal Party state executive, and is listed on their website as the country vice-president

Comment: and redirect: clear  fail. I'm happy with a redirect to the parliamentary eligibility article, where we can include her basic information
