Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sean Parnell (Pennsylvania politician)
obviously without prejudice against recreation after election day if he wins. It is not Wikipedia's job to maintain articles about as yet unelected candidates in future elections: the rule is not that all of the candidates get articles now and then after election day we delete the ones who lost, it is that we wait until the election is over before we ''start'' articles about any of the new winners. Wikipedia is |not an advertising platform for aspiring future notables to publicize themselves or their campaigns — and simply having spoken at the convention is not in and of itself a notability criterion either. Anybody who watched the speech and wanted to find out who this guy is will find his campaign materials and campaign coverage on the web as it is, so there's no need for us to suspend our rules in order to curate that content for them. We don't do "temporary notability pending the outcome of a future event that may or may not erase it" — we wait until his passage of a ''permanent'' notability criterion has ''already'' been ''secured'' before he's allowed to have an article, and for politicians that means ''holding'' a notable political office and not just running for one
