Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/India Walton
and |snow close.  She is getting coverage in national newspapers for her primary win. I just found https://theintercept.com/2021/06/23/buffalo-mayor-socialist-india-walton/ this article in ''The Intercept'' published a few hours ago which says "Walton will all but definitely win Buffalo’s general mayoral election in November." Local news organizations have already projected that she will win the general election given that she is the only candidate, and have said so since the race was called last night. The idea that this is premature is based in fantasy and contrary to multiple independent reliable sources. I agree with others that NOTCRYSTAL means that we shouldn't delete articles on unopposed candidates on the assumption they'll unexpectedly die or lose to a write-in candidate that doesn't exist. Do we seriously want to repeat the Donna Strickland incident? Why are we so intent on trying to delete articles of women who are clearly notable? This is a waste of our time and I recommend early closure
