Keep - Like many articles on Wiki this one could use more sources, but it already has one secondary source so it is better than many. Though the subject may or may not meet the letter of WP:POLITICIAN before he takes office, he almost certainly meets the WP:GNG and would be notable even if he did not take office for some reason simply by the event of not taking office after being elected. Given the lack of contentious material in the article now, I see little reason to delete it just to recreate it in January. VQuakr (talk) 04:53, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep - he's a state legislator-elect; he's going to be notable, and it's just plain absurd to waste the effort already put into creating this article for a person who is notable under WP:POLITICIAN. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:21, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
