and then '''restore redirect'''. Candidates do not qualify for articles just for being candidates, and the campaign coverage shown here neither mounts a strong case for deeming her candidacy a special case over and above everybody else's candidacies nor demonstrates that she would have passed another notability standard prior to her candidacy. I'll grant that during the election campaign, the heat of partisan passion ''sometimes'' causes AFDs on unelected candidates to close "no consensus", as happened here, because people who don't understand how our notability rules actually work think the campaign coverage automatically translates into a  pass — but as I've often had to point out, ''every'' candidate in ''every'' district gets some degree of campaign coverage. So if the existence of some campaign coverage were in and of itself enough to get a candidate past GNG and thus exempt them from having to pass NPOL, then there would never be any such thing as a non-notable candidate and NPOL would automatically have no meaning anymore. Our role here is to keep articles about people who pass the |ten-year test for ''enduring'' significance, not necessarily everybody who happens to show up in the current news cycle, so the existence of campaign coverage isn't automatically enough to make an unsuccessful candidate permanently notable just for being a candidate
