Ok, Ed, could you suggest possible dates that we might use Newspeak for this editathon.
Next, we need a lead volunteer. Would anybody like to put themselves forward for that?

Candidates are not eligible for their own pages, but, for example, they could be put on pages like this: https://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Tower_Hamlets_(UK_Parliament_constituency)
Wikidata, not sure, but tends to be much more lax about these kind of things.

I'm not sure about that Ed. I've encountered this issue before and the notability criteria for politicians is quite clear that they have to be elected to merit a page, I believe. I would assume the same applies for Wikidata?

For their own pages, sure, but they can be put in other places (constituencies?), and probably in Wikidata too.

I think it'd be good to have the GE candidates as they're announced as well, maybe we can do something around that?
Notability would be issue with candidates.
