PROD removed by Go Phightins! (talk · contribs) who was also the page creator. Original PROD rationale stands: Candidate only, does not meet criteria of WP:POLITICIAN.

Removing user stated: I added two additional media sources (not affiliated with her). I believe she does meet WP: Politician and possibly also WP:GNG.

Strader hasn't held an office, so that leaves #3 on WP:POLITICIAN, which leaves it to WP:BIO/WP:GNG. She does not pass that, the current coverage is all for a single event.

So I also say, delete. There's no reason this article can't be created after the election is over; between now and then, it'll simply be a soapbox. tedder (talk) 19:46, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Yes, closing admin, I created this article. I feel that there is significant enough media coverage to qualify her under #2 of WP:POLITICIAN which states that major local political figures are deemed to be notable. Strader is running for a Federal office, therefore I feel she's a significant enough local politician, at least for inclusion on Wikipedia. Also, there are three newspaper articles which mention her candidacy (two from Lancaster Newspapers and one from the Reading Eagle. Go Phightins! (talk) 19:51, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

She's not a politician yet. The "common outcomes for politicians" states: "Unelected candidates for a national legislature or other national office are not viewed as having inherent notability and are often deleted or merged into long lists of campaign hopefuls". tedder (talk) 20:40, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge & Redirect- Create section District 16 at United States House of Representatives elections in Pennsylvania, 2012; merge brief synopsis, then redirect this to United States House of Representatives elections in Pennsylvania, 2012#District 16. Wasn't notable before nomination, and as yet has not met WP:GNG or WP:N. Dru of Id (talk) 20:47, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Does not meet WP:POLITICIAN as a non-officeholder. As for WP:N (the general notability criteria), run-of-the-mill coverage in local newspapers of a candidate's run for office does not qualify as "significant". ... discospinster _talk 01:18, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
