Thousands and thousands of people have served as state legislators throughout America's history, and they very rarely become notable. I see no exception here, and notability is not inherited. Reywas92^Talk 21:51, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The nominator should review our notability guideline WP:POLITICIAN which is a result of years of consensus building. State legislators are presumed to be notable, sources exist to create encyclopedic articles about them, and this and all similar articles should be kept.

Keep Per guidelines, sub-national legislators are always considered notable. We have too few articles on state legislators, not too many. --NellieBly (talk) 01:55, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
