Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lauren Underwood
As always, candidates in forthcoming elections are ''not'' automatically eligible for Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — the notability bar for politicians requires ''winning'' the election and thereby ''holding'' the office, not just running for it. But the standard campaign coverage that ''every'' candidate in ''every'' election ''always'' receives does not automatically get her over  by itself, either — to be exempted from having to pass NPOL on "media coverage exists" grounds, that media coverage has to mark her candidacy out as ''nationally'', not just locally, significant for reasons ''beyond'' simply having her name on the ballot, but no such evidence is on offer here
