I think you would struggle to show that such coverage was "significant". The specific notability guideline ([1]) says to redirect candidates to the article on the election, which sounds like a good guideline to me. I think members of the London Assembly could be notable as members of a "state or provincial legislature" (there are states and provinces with smaller populations than Greater London - New South Wales has about half a million fewer people, for example, and everyone on [2] has an article), but they would have to win the election first. 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:POLITICIAN 2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Members_of_the_New_South_Wales_Legislative_Assembly,_2011%E2%80%932015 _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list [email protected] http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
