City council
Wikipedia has an explicit rule against using offsite external links in the article body. It's never acceptable; we want to keep readers on our site for information, not send them bouncing off somewhere else. If a reader really wants to see a candidate's own webpage that badly, they can Google the candidate's name on their own — our role here is to be an encyclopedia compiling facts that have been previously published in reliable media sources about people who have already attained notability through traditional means, not to do public service journalism by linking to every municipal election candidate's own personal campaign blog whether that person meets our current notability rules or not. And kindly remember that as an administrator, I have the power to lock the page from non-administrator editing if there's a continued pattern of not following Wikipedia's editing rules.
