Stephene Moore
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This was originally nominated in September 2010, and was caught up in the "don't delete candidate articles before the election" hoopla, and the result was that the article was kept (no consensus to delete). She went on to lose the election. Outside of the one event of running for congress, she does not pass the notoriety threshold, and (since the 2010 elections are long done), the original rationales provided by several editors are no longer relevant. All but two of the citations in the article are about her run for congress (and her relation to the then-current occupant of the seat); of the remaining two, one is a brief article about a trip by the Medical Missions Foundation, in which she is simply mentioned as one of nine volunteers from her local area, and the other (which was a dead link that I will fix) simply notes that she was the 2010 winner of an award from a foundation which doesn't have an article of its own in Wikipedia (I found a section about the group in the founder's bio, and added a redirect for the group). She appears to be a textbook example of WP:ONEEVENT, and the article should be either deleted (my preference) or redirected to United States House of Representatives elections in Kansas, 2010. The only reason I am running it through AFD is the previous AFD, and the assertions from several editors in the that AFD that the coverage of her from the congressional race alone is enough to meet the notability requirements. Note that in that AFD an editor provided a long laundry list of people who were in the same position as Moore; at least five of them were deleted outright; eight were redirected to the campaign articles, 20 of them won the 2010 election, one won the 2012 election (which makes him notable now), and a couple of others on that list were independently notable for reasons other than their campaigns (one is an appellate judge, for example). Moore and at least three of the remaining candidates on that list need to join the first two groups as either redlinks or redirects.  Horologium  (talk) 18:09, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete The subject fails WP:POLITICIAN and WP:GNG, since she lost the race there's no justification for her bio to exist in Wikipedia. I can't believe that previous AfD; it's like everyone just said "all our notability guidelines are irrelevant today". § FreeRangeFrog 19:01, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Having lost the race, she's not otherwise notable. Figureofnine (talk • contribs) 17:09, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
