Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Laura Peter
A non-notable candidate - by Wikipedia's standards . I'm sure her party colleagues who are making their first (and possibly last) edits here see her as the bee's knees. Unfortunately, being a candidate does not indicate notability here. (Candidates for President of the USA or Russia would be - but they would have pre-existing notability to get to that candidature.) As to MelanieN, I've always found her a fair editor here from her start - and would point out that she is a member of the Rescue Squadron for saving articles. (I'm not...) More Republicans being deleted? I can't give statistics, but I see quite a lot of AfD stuff - and to me there seem to be more Republican than Democrat candidates appearing and going again. But the Democrats do go too. Unless either is notable, they go. Me? I'm definitely neutral, not being an American (and regarding the political parties where I live with equal distaste). I couldn't care a tinker's damn what party anyone is from. They are either notable or they aren't - and here, please remember that it's our ball and our rules. (And our field too...) I would point out, too, that this is not a vote by numbers like a political election. It's a discussion. Prove that the subject of the article has notability - by our standards - and save the article. Otherwise, don't try to filibuster or swamp us with numbers
