 * Delete in line with WP:POLITICIAN without prejudice to re-creation if she gets elected. No sign of significant coverage in reliable independent sources from Google News. Qwfp (talk) 15:05, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete and "Redirect" to Nottingham South. No objection to a link to her webpage going on the constituency page (along with the other candidates). Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 16:03, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep With a general election under a year away, I think that an adopted prospective parliamentary candidate for one of the major parties ought to meet the notability criteria. The article will need to be deleted if she fails to get elected, but in the meantime, we have to put up with it (and others) whether we like it or not.  Peterkingiron (talk) 21:37, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * That would be incompatible with the principle that notability is never temporary. Since the vast majority of pages about PPCs state little more than stuff reiterated from the candidates' own web pages, I see no need for anything more than these external links on the constituency page.

 * Comment is there a consensus re PPCs pre-election? There are roughly 600 seats and three (sometimes 4) main parties operating in each. Assuming that one is the incumbent (and thus notable a priori); thats quite a few stubs or worse promo puff pieces like the one up for AfD here. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 02:10, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Consensus has almost invariably been to delete, redirect to constituency (or by-election) page. There are some exceptions, but these are generally PPCs who're notable for some other reason - they've been a particularly significant local politician or unelected official, for example. But notability outside of simply running for office is essential. Shimgray | talk | 15:49, 22 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - PPCs are not generally notable, and there is no evidence that she is more notable than average. Warofdreams talk 14:17, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Otherwise non-notable PPCs have, almost without exception, been found to be wanting on previous AFDs. If she is elected then WP:POLITICIAN can be looked at again doktorb wordsdeeds 04:58, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
