Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jan Schneider (2nd nomination)
People do not automatically qualify for Wikipedia articles just for standing as candidates in elections they did not win, and the existence of a small handful of campaign coverage during the election does not translate into a -based exemption from having to pass  — ''every'' candidate in ''every'' election ''everywhere'' can ''always'' show some evidence of campaign coverage, so if the existence of a few pieces of campaign coverage were all it took to exempt a candidate from NPOL, then ''every'' candidate would ''always'' be exempted from NPOL. Rather, to make a candidate notable enough for inclusion ''without'' winning the election, she must pass one of two other tests: either (a) she has preexisting notability for other reasons that would ''already'' have gotten her a Wikipedia article on those grounds ''anyway'' (e.g. Cynthia Nixon), or (b) she can show such an ''unusual'' volume, depth or geographic range of coverage, expanding ''far'' beyond just what every other candidate can also show, that she would have a credible claim to her candidacy being much more ''special'' than everybody else's candidacies in some way that would pass the |ten year test for enduring significance (e.g. Christine O'Donnell). But this fails to source any of the information about her career background at all, which means it isn't demonstrating that she would pass test A — and with just eight footnotes of which half are blogs, routine public opinion polls of the type that every candidate appears in and routine candidate profiles in all-candidate directories, it isn't demonstrating that she would pass test B either
