Harriet Hageman

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

WP:BLP of a person notable only as an as yet non-winning candidate in a political party primary. As always, candidates do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates per se (even candidates on the general election ballot don't get articles for that, let alone primary candidates) -- the notability test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one, while a candidate must demonstrate either preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten her an article anyway (the Cynthia Nixon test), or a credible reason why her candidacy should be seen as so much more special than everybody else's candidacies that even if she loses the election she would still pass the ten year test for enduring significance anyway (the Christine O'Donnell test). But this demonstrates neither of those things. Obviously no prejudice against recreation in November if she wins the general election, but just running in a party primary is not sufficient grounds for a Wikipedia article at all. Bearcat (talk) 12:18, 17 June 2022 (UTC) Deleting this article will definitely tell everyone which side you stand on. In politics it should be important to hear all voices, not just the ones you want people to hear. I think it’s time that the media did not take a political side and allowed the people to use their voice — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.21.209.85 (talk) 20:55, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete Per nom., no prejudice against re-creation if she wins the general election, but the subject presently fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG.Sal2100 (talk) 16:59, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 2022 United States House of Representatives election in Wyoming, per Curbon7's comments below. Per nom., no prejudice against re-creation if/when she wins the general election. Sal2100 (talk) 17:43, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Restore redirect: I think having this go to AfD was pointless as you could've just reverted the IP lol. Either way, as Hageman is practically guaranteed to win at this point, just restore the redirect until she actually wins the primary. This maintains the page history and makes it easy to have an already written version that can quickly be retrieved. Curbon7 (talk) 21:17, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Redirect as WP:ATD. Is perhaps WP:TOOSOON. -Kj cheetham (talk) 16:25, 18 June 2022 (UTC) P.S. WP:CRYSTAL. -Kj cheetham (talk) 14:33, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Restore redirect to 2022 United States House of Representatives election in Wyoming. She is very likely going to win the Republican primary in August, so for now we can just restore the redirect, instead of deleting. Lefcentreright  Discuss  17:31, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. An obscure far-right aspiring politician. Not a member of a national parliament (generally a minimum requirement for someone not notable for something else), not even a candidate for a seat in a national parliament (generally not sufficient in itself anyway), just some obscure local figure who wants to unseat the incumbent from her own party. --Tataral (talk) 04:40, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete not notable at the prersent time. If she wins the general election in November she will be notable, and maybe if she wins the primary (depending on if that results in actual widespread coverage about her) but not before then.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:05, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * The primary is not until August 16. If, and that is a big if, Hageman wins then, she may (or may not) become notable for such, depending on the actual coverage. Before that an article is not justified.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:10, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not "the media", and is not a platform for "people to use their voice" — Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, with rules about who qualifies to have an article on here and who doesn't. Bearcat (talk) 11:17, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
