Talk:2023 Utah's 2nd congressional district special election

Latest comment: 1 year ago by Mpen320 in topic Predictions Section

Will you please start article pages for most of these candidates referenced?

edit

A few of the candidates have pages already, and they are linked here, which provides them with an advantage in this contest.

As someone with a conflict of interest (I'm a candidate), it is strongly discouraged for me to create a page about myself (though I tried anyway).

Is anyone interested in putting together something simple for those other folks referenced here that don't yet have pages?

I'm happy to provide some sources of information about myself, third-party and otherwise, to anyone who might like to write about me. BradGreenUtah (talk) 09:08, 15 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

No, because most of them aren't notable enough to have their own article. See Wikipedia:Notability (people) and WP:1E for relevant guidelines. —twotwofourtysix(talk || edits) 11:22, 15 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
I agree with the previous comment, being a candidate does not rise to the level of creating a Wikipedia page. I understand that it might be a disadvantage, but Wikipedia is not about creating advantages in political races. Jurisdicta (talk) 15:55, 7 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

None of these (at least that do not require subscriptions) are rating the race between Malloy and Riebe. The Decision Desk rating article says in its "How It Plays Out" section that "It is still early, and many potential candidates have to decide whether or not to run." So frankly the whole thing should be scrapped given the number of articles without ratings that were thrown into it. Mpen320 (talk) 20:12, 13 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
