WP:BLP of a person notable only as a county councillor and as yet non-winning candidate in a political party's nomination contest to select its candidate for a future provincial election. As always, neither of these is a notability claim that gets a person into Wikipedia in and of itself: provincial-level candidates have to win the election and thereby hold the seat to be considered notable as politicians, and are otherwise eligible for Wikipedia articles only if they can be shown to have already passed a Wikipedia inclusion criterion for some other reason independent of their candidacy -- while county councillors don't even get handed notability for holding office in and of itself, but are deemed notable only if they can be substanced and sourced as significantly more notable than most other county councillors in most other counties. But the referencing here isn't making her notable at all: the five footnotes here comprise two pieces of purely routine local coverage of election results in her own county's local media, her primary source profile on the county government's own self-published website, a provincewide "election updates" post on a non-notable WP:BLOG, and one piece in a major market newspaper which doesn't even namecheck Moore's existence at all, but is here merely to verify a purely tangential statistic about crime levels. None of this is enough to make a county councillor notable. Bearcat (talk) 15:43, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
