Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Misty Plowright (2nd nomination)
A non-winning candidate who fails NPOL ''can'', in certain circumstances, still pass another notability criterion for another reason. The first candidacy by a member of a historically oppressed minority, for example, can be enough to get a person into Wikipedia if they've gotten a -satisfying volume of coverage for that fact. (By comparison, while I can't speak for any other country we ''do'' have an article about the first-ever transgender candidate for political office in Canada, even though she didn't win either — because "first transgender candidate" is, in and of itself, enough to make her candidacy more notable than the norm.) While the article as written does need some improvement, Innisfree987 has amply demonstrated above that better sourcing ''does'' exist to improve it with — the coverage doesn't just nationalize, it ''internationalizes'' to Canada, the UK, France and Germany in a way that coverage of non-winning US congressional candidates very rarely does. And that's ''exactly'' how you show that a candidacy ''is'' more notable than the norm: press coverage far beyond the |routine and expected
