Comment Notable local politicians can have articles, but require similar notability standards to other, independent, verifiable sources. See WP:POLITICIAN. This subject and other similar ones nominated with this are all localized policial races with very little to no media coverage. Bhockey10 (talk) 20:32, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. - Bob Horning is a political figure that is of great importance to our area. He is very notable is his Senate District (Oregon SD16). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mwilhelm (talk • contribs) 20:58, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
