Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lauren McLean
without prejudice against recreation in December if she wins the runoff. Candidates do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates; she has to ''win'' the election and thereby ''hold'' the mayoralty to claim notability under our inclusion standards for mayors, and people's ''predictions'' about whether she's ''likely'' to win or not carry no weight. So as of today, the only standard we can judge her against is the one for city councillors — and the standard for city councillors is not being passed, because it requires evidence that she's uniquely much ''more'' notable than most other city councillors. Yes, Boise is a large enough city that its mayors would generally be accepted as passing , so this can certainly be recreated if she actually wins the mayoral election — but as of today, she's still only a mayoral ''candidate'' who has ''not'' passed NPOL yet. And since administrators have the ability to ''restore'' deleted articles with one click of a button if circumstances change, the fact that the article ''might'' have to be recreated in a month is not a reason to exempt her from the normal process today
