On the other hand, Digestible is right in that there is a fairly decent stub of an article here, and it would be a pity to redo all the work in the likely event that she's elected. So I think the best solution is to move it to userspace for the time being (doesn't really matter whose), and it can be moved back if she wins. 395:
matter for the Speaker's decision. My sense is that he was simply expressing the hope that his departure would cause as little disruption as possible, and one way of mininising it would be to hold the by-election on the same day as Bradfield. That doesn't amount to saying what we're currently saying. --
642:
That doesn't matter. Precedent does. Whilst a subject lacks noteability there shall be no article. How about this - should we create an article for all candidates? Why not? We can delete them after. Oh, only for one candidate because we expect them to win? How likely is it? Does a seat have to have a

I'm wondering if we can say this. Resigning members don't get to decide the date of the by-elections for the seats they're vacating. True, it would probably be convenient for them to be held on the same say, and that's probably what will happen. But not just because Peter Costello says so. It's a

I've just been checking up, and in the Ludlam case the proposal to delete was made days before the election, with most people agreeing that it should be kept in such a situation. This is obviously over a month out. With the Carles case, it was moved from userspace to mainspace when she announced she

O'Dwyer/Liberal defeat today. Regardless of whether it happens (I think she'll win), it is sweet justification that I was and am correct. O'Dwyer is not noteable for anything except her candidacy, but because it was apparently unanimous agreement at the time that she would be elected, we thought it
657:
You're both entirely correct. Timeshift is right when he says keeping her article establishes a precedent we really, really don't want (imagine at election time if we created articles for all "likely to win" candidates; it would be chaos, not to mention a colossal contravention of

However, it has been pretty widely accepted in the media that they'll be on the same day, and also among politicians. So we can say quite reasonably that it's "expected" without saying that it's certain. I think what we have now is fine, especially since it's sourced.
479:
Technically yes, and it may be best to do so simply to discourage this sort of premature page creation in the future. However, I believe there is a precedent that in this respect pages are kept until after the election, especially in respect of a by-election. (Note
613:
The only references are media outlet online links directly regarding her Liberal candidacy. This is insufficient to establish noteability. Future noteability is just that, and pages per general practice on wikipedia have been removed until such time it's there.
846:"Costello was widely expected to assume the Liberal leadership after the 2007 election, but the day after the election, in a surprise announcement, he said that he would not seek or accept the leadership or deputy leadership of the Liberal Party." 502:
Interesting. I don't recall any precedent set of a page being kept until after an election. If Carles and Ludlam were noteable then their page should be kept, if not it should have been removed, and if it was kept i doubt it should have been.
849:
Therefore this very fact should be included in this article as it was a factor in his decision to retire but if you still want a source on this then I suggest you go find one yourself and stop deleting this very fact from this article.
436:
OK, but I'd be happier if it were sourced from anywhere except Peter Costello's website. It really does look like he's announced when the by-election for his soon-to-be-former seat will be, and he has no power to do that. --

was running for the by-election. Ultimately, though, I have to agree that until she is elected there is no place in the mainspace for such an article. Absolutely send it to AfD or, perhaps, to userspace.
1134: 1129: 585:
A page shouldn't be kept just because it's likely to exist in the future. When the subject becomes noteable it gets a page, not beforehand based on speculation and crystal balling.
1169: 308: 728:
not appropriate to delete or move to non-article space. If someone is not noteable at the time but presumed to be noteable in the future, they should not have an article.
599:
There is no crystal balling. The article is properly referenced with verifiable citations. Deleting an article that's only going to be recreated is just a waste of time.

Should this page be sent to AfD? I can't see anything noteworthy about her and the only refs are by-election based. Election candidacy in itself is not noteable.
