I deleted it and protected the title. Unless there is a consensus to have the page in mainspace absent a live vacancy on the court, I intend to keep it that way.

Updates to candidates
I noticed that some of the candidates mentioned have had a change in job status. For example, Lucy Koh was elevated to the Court of Appeals while Alison Nathan might soon be elevated as well. Also, Keisha Lance Bottoms is no longer the mayor of Atlanta. It's no big deal, but are you letting people edit this draft? Or, are you waiting until there is a vacancy to make it into a full-fledged article as you stated? I'm just wondering. Thanks.

For one thing, Biden pledged to appoint a black woman to the Court, not only black women. If he ends up having two or three slots to fill, then there could be several appointments from other demographics (including white men). In this regard, this is no different from Ronald Reagan's campaign pledge to appoint a woman to the Court; he did so, and this did not preclude him from later appointing two men, and elevating another man to Chief Justice.

@
BD2412: thank you for the explanation. I have reinstated the nominee I had removed based on my mistake that the article was only referring to potential candidate for the current nomination.
