I was looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Biggs_(politician)
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Biggs_%28politician%29>, which led me
to believe that possible they are notable - if elected. There are a few
sources for the candidates, but mostly local news - eg "Party X hopeful
cleans up our streets with help from the local football team!"
Might possibly pass GNG.... possibly.

2. 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?
It's worth noting that traditionally PPCs have had difficulty
sustaining articles, whereas incumbent MPs are all notable. I suspect
the same may be true of L.A. elections.
As the motto goes, sources first, article second. Although I
personally don't mind helping with some of these (being a politics
student).
