WP:BLP of a political figure, notable only as an as yet non-winning candidate in a future election. As always, this is not a claim of notability that gets a person into Wikipedia in and of itself -- if you cannot demonstrate and properly source that she was already notable enough for a Wikipedia article for some other reason independent of her candidacy, then she does not become notable enough for a Wikipedia article until she wins the election. But the only other notability claim here is that she served on a local authority council, which doesn't cut it under WP:NPOL either. No prejudice against recreation on or after June 8 if she wins the seat, but nothing here gets her an article today. Bearcat (talk) 02:47, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep I feel that being a member of an elected local council should constitute notability for candidates in the current UK parliamentary election, and that an improved policy for notability of sub-national English politicians must be developed after the election is over.

 * As I pointed out in the previous discussion, however, the United Kingdom as a whole is the "national" level for the purposes of NPOL — Westminster is the national body, the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland assemblies are the subnational level, and Westminster's failure to follow through on the past proposals for a separate English assembly does not reify the local authorities into a higher level of government than they actually represent in reality. For officeholders at the county level, it's WP:GNG or bust, with no inclusion freebies for them just because there's no English parliament between them and Westminster.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete The community consensus on WP:POLITICIAN has not been to extend the term of sub-national office to include local borough councils or similar municipal or county offices (The text of the policy is very explicit, stating "(statewide/provincewide) office" and "members of a national, state or provincial legislature"). Subjects who do not meet WP:POLITICIAN may be notable, but are not provided the assumption of notability just for the office they hold. The standard is WP:GNG and the existing sourcing does not appear to show notability. (Note - the existing community consensus is that campaign coverage is WP:ROUTINE and the specific race for United Kingdom general election, 2017 is notable [as is St Albans (UK Parliament constituency)] where information about the campaign could be located) --Enos733 (talk) 20:05, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
