Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Regina Bateson
I'd request in future that the nominator actually write his own nomination statement, instead of copying and pasting one of mine verbatim from another discussion about somebody else — it's not so much that I'm offended at all, as that it can create the appearance that you didn't really evaluate the situation very carefully, but just "templated" your way through a situation that looked equivalent on the surface. But at any rate, it is true that people do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they haven't won yet — and as of today she isn't even that yet, but is merely a candidate in a ''primary'' that hasn't happened yet, which is even ''less'' of a basis for notability. But this doesn't demonstrate any strong evidence that she had preexisting notability for other reasons, as her academic career is referenced entirely to |primary sources (press releases from the universities she's been affiliated with and one of her own Twitter tweets), not to the |reliable source coverage it would take to make her ''notable'' for that — and the volume of campaign-specific coverage shown here is ''not'' enough to make her candidacy a special case over and above everybody else's candidacy, either
