A tad
WP:TOOSOON I'm afraid, coverage currently appears to be limited to routine campaign-trail coverage that primarily encompasses Ideh's campaign promises, as told by her (
[1]), unreliable who's who entries and self-reported biographies (
[2],
[3]), and an op-ed supporting her candidacy (
[4]). Additionally, the claim that she is the only female candidate
appears to be outdated. If she gets far enough along in the election to generate significant independent coverage, then we can create an article. signed, Rosguilltalk23:34, 2 July 2019 (UTC)reply
Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they have not yet won — the notability test for politicians is holding office, not just running for it. But this makes no claim that she has preexisting notability for other reasons that would have gotten her an article anyway, either. No prejudice against recreation on or after election day if she wins, but just being a candidate is not grounds for a Wikipedia article in and of itself.
