Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jessica Hammond (2nd nomination)
The existence of some campaign coverage is not in and of itself a reason to deem a candidate as passing  in ''lieu'' of having to pass  — ''every'' candidate in ''every'' election ''everywhere'' can ''always'' show some evidence of campaign coverage, so if that were how it worked then ''every'' candidate would pass GNG and NPOL itself would be meaningless. Rather, to get a candidate treated as a special case, she needs to pass one of two other tests: either (a) you can demonstrate that 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 demonstrate a credible reason why her candidacy should be treated as much, much more ''special'' than everybody else's candidacies, in some way that would pass the |ten year test for enduring significance (e.g. Christine O'Donnell). Neither of those are in evidence here. GNG is ''not'' just "count the footnotes and keep anybody who happens to pass an arbitrary number" — GNG tests for a variety of other factors, including whether the ''context'' of what the person is getting covered ''for'' would be expected to get them into an encyclopedia or not
