Candidates do not meet WP:Notability without some other notability. This individual does not meet that criteria. Mpen320 ( talk) 19:34, 16 December 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Conor Lamb is an active U.S. House of Representatives candidate in an upcoming special election in Pennsylvania's 18th Congressional District scheduled for later this year, and Lamb has been nominated by one of the two major U.S. political parties in the special election in question. Lamb's candidacy has received considerable traditional media coverage, as others have noted.

  • WP:NPOL3. states that mere candidates "can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of 'significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article'." and we do keep candidates when a race is drawing sufficient non-local attention, Tim Canova and Lee Busby come to mind. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 10:33, 20 December 2017 (UTC) reply
I have read WP:NPOL3. Tim Canova had a scholarly career as a law professor in addition to prior activism outside of his campaign. His article also has 41 citations covering both his campaign and prior activism. By contrast Lamb's article has 13 citations. The only citation that does not cite the race itself is a WaPo article that cites a brief quote from Captain Lamb with no other elaboration.-- Mpen320 ( talk) 23:05, 20 December 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Considering he's currently got a reasonable % chance - around 39% according to Predict It [2] of being elected to congress in 7 weeks, definitely makes sense to keep the article for now - would suggest revisiting after the special election
  • Keep. Lamb has currently got a good chance of being elected to Congress, and the special election has attracted a lot of attention so far, with the DCCC and NRCC spending and Trump himself campaigning here. District101 ( talk) 22:51, 26 January 2018 (UTC) reply
