or '''redirect''' per Mattomynameo. Candidates for office do not qualify for Wikipedia articles just for being candidates, especially when they're still just candidates in primaries — a person has to ''win'' the election and thereby ''hold'' office to clear , not just stand as a candidate. This is ''not'', however, referenced to the depth of |reliable source coverage needed to either deem her candidacy a special case or make Wolf PAC a valid claim of preexisting notability — of the fifteen footnotes here, nine are to |primary sources or unreliable |blogs that cannot assist notability at all, while a further four just glancingly namecheck her existence in articles that aren't ''about'' her. Which leaves just ''two'' sources that actually speak to potential notability by being reliable and independent and substantively about her — but two pieces of media coverage aren't enough to make a candidate in a primary encyclopedically notable by themselves, because ''any'' candidate in ''any'' primary could ''always'' show two pieces of media coverage. To make her candidacy "major" for the purposes of earning special treatment under NPOL, what we would require is evidence that the coverage is exploding ''wildly'' out of scale to what could normally be expected — the Christine O'Donnell scenario — and not just evidence that she's getting exactly the same |run of the mill coverage as every other candidate in every primary
