There is a draft article for Peters which is ready to be published in mainspace. MurielMary (talk) 10:04, 26 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

@MurielMary: Please wait for WP:AFC to complete their review. --Izno (talk) 14:15, 26 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
It is not ready to be published in mainspace. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:13, 26 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Izno: :@Muboshgu: I am WP:AFC (I'm an AFC reviewer) and I can't complete the draft article's review and publish it because there is already an article in mainspace with the same name - this one, the redirect. What's the technical process required to move the draft into mainspace in this situation? I have the same problem with the draft for Marie Newman, which I can't approve and publish because there is already a redirect article in mainspace in her name. TIA.

MurielMary, why would you approve that draft? The draft is thinly sourced and the subject doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:NPOL. – Muboshgu (talk) – Muboshgu (talk) 19:00, 26 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
Meets GNG as her role as mayor, agree minimally sourced but sufficient to publish. Some of those references need to be added as in-line citations, not a big deal to add on publishing. What's the process here for publishing it when a redirect article is in place? MurielMary (talk) 19:13, 26 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
I took a second look. MurielMary, the draft is very similar to the article that was deleted by consensus at AFD two years ago. Her notability as mayor was not sufficient then. What has changed is that she is running for the US House. If you sincerely believe the draft should be published, I might recommend WP:DRV in this case to see if consensus exists for recreation. Vague memory says the rough rule is that politicians running for the House are not notable until after election, so I do not think you will be successful there either, but you can try. --Izno (talk) 19:43, 26 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
Mayors don't automatically meet GNG. Mayors of large cities are presumed to meet GNG, and so pass NPOL. But mayors of small towns don't meet NPOL because their GNG cases are case by case. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:13, 26 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
This would quickly go to AfD and be deleted again. Wait to see if she gets elected to Congress, at such time she would become notable. It's a solidly Democrat district, so if she wins the primary, she's most likely a shoe-in. However, she's up against David Scott, an incumbent since 2003, so her chances in the primary aren't too good.Onel5969 TT me 00:12, 27 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
