Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Madison Cawthorn
For the most part, all I am reading is . When the community has kept an unelected candidate, there is usually another factor, especially a tremendous amount of international coverage of a candidate. For AOC, she defeated a member of the House Democratic leadership. For other candidates, they are often kept if they are running unopposed, are treated as the exemplar candidate (so they are emblematic of all other candidates from a particular year), or commit a gaffe so outrageous that the coverage is outsized (see Christine O'Donnell). And in nearly every case, the community is split on whether they should be kept. In this particular case, I do not see any identifiable reason that this subject, should they lose election, will remain notable if they never hold an elected office. The case made here is that the subject is young (but not the youngest) and defeated a same-party candidate running for an open seat. While  there is a lot of words spilled over a candidate, whom I agree is likely to win, making this conversation moot in November, stripping all of the veneer, ''there is nothing that makes this subject more special than most,'' thus failing our general community standards about unelected candidates. And all of the things that do make the candidate unique should be added into the page about the election
