Local legislator and judge (fails WP:POLITICIAN) and unsourced. MBisanz ^talk 04:47, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Um, WP:POLITICIAN says that "members and former members of a ... provincial legislature" are notable. Steve Smith (talk) 04:50, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, I hadn't noticed that part, good catch. Still is unsourced though. MBisanz ^talk 06:07, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep on condition sources can be found (given the common name and Canadian origin, I'm not up to this task). He would easily passes WP:POLITICIAN as a state legislator. --Mkativerata (talk) 05:05, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep while sourcing could be improved, they are out there for example this one but someone with access to local books and media is needed here. Valenciano (talk) 06:20, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, note: I asked to have this undeleted yesterday, but it was nominated here before I had a chance to add sources. I have added a few now. --Apoc2400 (talk) 08:51, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per snow. Perhaps the nominator would be willing to withdraw it and speedily close. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:04, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, now that it's sourced. MBisanz ^talk 15:10, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
