Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dinah Mulholland
People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being ''candidates'' in elections — if you cannot show and |properly source that she was ''already'' notable enough for an article for some other reason ''independent'' of her candidacy, then she has to ''win'' the election, not just run in it, to get a Wikipedia article ''because'' election per se. But this makes no credible claim of preexisting notability, and does not cite nearly enough reliable source coverage about her to suggest that we could consider her candidacy ''more'' notable than the norm for any reason — ''every'' single candidate in ''any'' election could ''always'' show two pieces of local media coverage and a bunch of |primary sources, which is all that's actually been shown here. It is not Wikipedia's job to help ''aspiring'' officeholders ''promote'' their candidacies to the voters — our job is to maintain articles about the people who ''do'' hold office, not everybody who merely runs for one. No prejudice against recreation on or after June 8 if she wins, but nothing here gets her an article today
