Per WP:POLITICIAN, a person who has sat in a federal, provincial or state legislature is always notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia, with no exceptions. See point #1: members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature. They do not have to meet some subjective or arbitrary threshhold above that which would separate "notable" from "non-notable" members of the same legislature, a condition which would just lead us into a constant parade of circular, unresolvable and potentially partisan (i.e. "delete because I disapprove of their ideology") debates about whether any given legislator was "notable enough" or not; while the actual quality of the article can still be an issue that necessitates improvement of the article in some cases, if they've sat in a legislature then their basic notability is not up for debate.
