Speedy Keep stupid!! According to WP:NPOL, Current MPs or former MPs or Long long ago MPs or removed position MPs are alway notable and meet WP:NPOL !!! Hninthuzar (talk) 19:52, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just for the record, the term "MP" is not used to mean state legislators in the United States. I'm mentioning this because you also changed the article to read "MP" instead of "member" — but state legislatures are not parliaments, so their members are not "members of parliament". Yes, they serve the same function as a parliament, but they're still a different thing. Bearcat (talk) 23:04, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for your explain Bearcat, In my country Myanmar, state legislators is called State and Regional Hluttaws, "hulttaw" meaning in Burmese language as "parliament". And member of the state legislators are called Regional MP of the State or Region Parliament. Thanks Hninthuzar (talk) 03:41, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep with refimprove tag. Does need improvement, but people who can be verified as having served as state legislators have a straight and clean pass of WP:NPOL #1. Bearcat (talk) 23:04, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
