Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Laura Ellsworth
Being an as yet unelected candidate in an upcoming political primary is not a notability claim that gets somebody into Wikipedia in and of itself — and simply showing a couple of media sources for her candidacy announcement is not an automatic  pass either, because ''every'' candidate in ''any'' election could ''always'' show that. Rather, there are only two ways to make a political candidate notable enough for a Wikipedia article:  (a) the election is ''over'' and she ''won'' it, or (b) she was ''already'' notable enough for an article for some ''other'' reason ''besides'' her candidacy. So no prejudice against recreation on or after election day if she wins, but neither the sourcing nor the substance on offer here already get her a Wikipedia article today
