Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Abbie Hodgson
People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they have not yet won; the notability test for politicians, per , is ''holding'' a notable office, not merely running for one. And that holds ''even'' if the campaign has received local press coverage within the district where the person is running, because ''every'' candidate in ''every'' district in ''every'' election can ''always'' show some evidence of local press coverage within their own district. Our job is to have articles about people who pass the |ten-year test for enduring nationalized or internationalized significance, not to indiscriminately maintain an article about every single person who's ever gotten their name into any newspaper for any reason whatsoever. And no, it's not a dismissal of local press either — a person who was running as a candidate in New York City, and was thus getting their routine local campaign coverage in ''The New York Times'' instead of a small regional pennysaver, still wouldn't get a Wikipedia article just because the citation tags had the words "New York Times" in them, because the ''context'' of what the NYT was covering them ''for'' still wouldn't clear our notability standards. Obviously no prejudice against recreation in November 2020 if she wins the seat, but nothing here adds up to a reason why she would already be eligible to keep a Wikipedia article today
