Helen Whately[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Yet another unelected Prospective Parliamentary Candidate in a British election, with no sourced or substantiated notability that would get her past either WP:NPOL or WP:GNG. As always, a candidate in an election is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just for being a candidate, but must either win the election or already have enough properly sourced notability to get over a different inclusion rule independently of the candidacy to qualify.
