Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mavis Taintor
People do not get Wikipedia articles for being candidates in elections they did not win; a person has to ''win'' the election and thereby ''hold'' the office to claim notability as a politician, and otherwise qualifies to have an article only if (a) she already had preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten her an article anyway (e.g. Cynthia Nixon), or (b) you can show substantive evidence that her candidacy was uniquely ''much more'' notable than everybody else's candidacies in some way that would make her a ''special case'' (e.g. Christine O'Donnell). And no, the fact that a handful of local campaign coverage exists does not automatically get her over , either, because ''every'' candidate in ''every'' district in ''every'' election can ''always'' show a handful of local campaign coverage. This does not demonstrate that either of the two conditions for the notability of unsuccessful political candidates has been passed, however
