Lena Epstein
- I created this draft, and did not mean it for AfC submission. Someone else did that. I meant this draft purely for incubation. The idea is that if she does win, it will be moved into mainspace. If she doesn't, she probably isn't notable. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:30, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
- I took the liberty to submit it because this race among others is getting national attention and when next Tuesday comes around it will be very, very busy around here in terms of editing (not just between these two candidates).Trillfendi (talk) 21:51, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
- True, but I'll be here, and I'm an admin, so I can move it straight into mainspace (or Draft:Haley Stevens) once the race is called. And also there is WP:NODEADLINE. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:10, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
