to the election. Candidates do not get into Wikipedia just for being candidates — she has to ''win'' the election and thereby ''hold'' the office, not just run in the election, to be considered notable as a politician, and otherwise is notable only if she already had enough preexisting notability for other reasons to qualify for an article ''independently'' of her candidacy. And the existence of some campaign-related coverage does not give a candidate a free GNG pass that exempts them from having to pass NPOL, either — the volume and depth and range of coverage shown here can ''always'' be shown by ''every'' candidate in ''every'' election ''everywhere'', so if this were all it took then NPOL would ''never'' be applicable ''at all'', because no candidate for any office anywhere would ever ''fail'' to be able to show as much campaign coverage as this. The article can absolutely be recreated in November if she wins the seat, because her notability equation will have changed to a straight NPOL #1 pass that guarantees a Wikipedia article — but nothing here is a good reason, or good enough sourcing, to already get her a Wikipedia article today. The notability test for Wikipedia articles is not |temporary newsiness — it is |will people still be looking for this article ten years from now. Officeholders pass that test, but candidates do not
