  1. We've had a couple of contacts from local political parties trying to get pages about candidates in the upcoming London Assembly elections. At present, we only really have stubs on a few of the candidates. We told them politely that it's not something we can help with - WP is written by volunteers - although we did of course offer to teach their volunteers how to edit (and edit ethically and openly) if necessary. Perhaps this is something to keep an eye on when you're patrolling articles, or looking for a new DYK?
The helpful answer (being a candidate doesn't confer notability) belongs in a FAQ somewhere. Question is, where.
