Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they did not win — they have to win the election and thereby hold the seat to pass NPOL, and otherwise the only other routes to a Wikipedia article are to already have had preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten them an article anyway (the Cynthia Nixon highway), or to be sourceable to such an unusually large volume of reliable source coverage, exploding far beyond the bounds of what every candidate in every election can always show, that she's got a credible claim to being special (the Christine O'Donnell path). Neither of those things are in evidence here at all, however. Bearcat (talk) 17:57, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
