Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Georgina Downer
Unelected candidates for political office do not get articles just for being candidates per se — and no, the fact that a handful of campaign coverage exists doesn't automatically hand candidates a -based ''exemption'' from having to pass  either, because ''every'' candidate in ''every'' election ''everywhere'' can ''always'' show some evidence of campaign coverage. Rather, to make a non-winning candidate notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia, she needs to pass one or both of two other tests: either (a) she has a strong claim to preexisting notability for ''other'' reasons ''besides'' the candidacy, or (b) she can show credible evidence that her candidacy should be deemed a ''special case'' of significantly ''greater'' notability than everybody else's candidacies. But this does nothing to demonstrate that she would pass the second test, and just chairing a university institute isn't an automatic free pass over the first test in the absence of properly sourced evidence that she would pass  — so no, nothing here is enough. No prejudice against recreation of a redirect to the family list, but she's already named in it and there's nothing stated here that needs to be added there, so there's not much merging necessary
