Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/California's 39th congressional district election, 2018
It's not helpful to have a standalone article about every individual district in a 435-seat national legislative election — and even given the argument that this one is somehow a special case of wider media interest than most others because it's more competitive, the problem is that other editors won't see it that way: for thousands of Wikipedia editors both established and new, the existence of this will turn into "my district automatically gets to have one of these too", which is both undesirable and not needed and will create a shitstorm of cleanup wars. This is pure  — the test for a standalone article is not |does this happen to be temporarily newsy right now, but |will people still be looking for this article ten years from now, and the answer to that question is profoundly unlikely to be "yes" here
