The New York Times covers events of some importance; therefore, stuff covered by them is probably quite important. Local newspapers, however, cover local news; it is no evidence of wider notability.

That is true, but what's wrong with having articles for local politicans (as long as they pass
WP:GNG)? The significant coverage she has received in her local newspapers means she passes
WP:BIO.

Keep People who run in the election for national level posts after winning the nominations of major parties in a two-party system should be considered notable. We've not always done it, but its time we should. It would avoid these recurrent disputes. All we need to do to meet the GNG is decide that for these cases, local sources are sufficient. DGG (
