The Notability and Political Candidates Proposed Guidelines
Thank you for starting this. I think we have needed this for quite some time to better implement policy, to avoid biting newcomers, and frankly protect candidates from unscrupulous Wikipedians for hire who trick candidates/campaigns into thinking a Wikipedia article would be helpful. I don't comfortable directly editing someone else's sandbox so I have left these two thoughts below.
- I feel a lot of articles about candidates are violations of WP:CRYSTAL ↗ and that CRYSTAL should be mentioned in the context of creating an article immediately after a candidate announces for office. For example, this is an AfD for Danica Leigh ↗. Less than three months later, Danica did not even submit a filing to the Illinois State Board of Elections ↗ as demonstrated at this listing ↗.
- You say ''Candidates who are the certified winner of their election but do not assume office (that meets WP:NPOL) are generally kept.'' This does seem to be true at the US House level ↗ as we have retained articles for Luke Letlow ↗ and others. However, in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dawn Evans ↗, it was determined that, given the lack of coverage of Dawn Evans, it should be a redirect. The situation where an article is created for someone who is almost certain to assume office, but then does not assume office is rare enough that we don't really have a consensus. There was a similar one for a Dutch parliamentarian elect whom I cannot immediately recall. I would rephrase it to read ''"may or may not be kept depending on circumstance."''
: EDIT: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Leon Geurts ↗ is what I was referencing when I mentioned the Dutch parliamentarian.--Mpen320 (talk) 21:01, 17 December 2025 (UTC)
::I see what we end up with as an essay, rather than changes to NPOL. As to your second point, I don't see a difference between "generally kept" and "may or may not be kept" except that your phrase suggests that it is more up in the air than a rare occurrence (most of the time, we are dealing with a death, rather than a refusal to take office). - Enos733 (talk) 23:22, 17 December 2025 (UTC)
