Although both the subject's parents were notable, a search of Google news articles or books found no WP:RELIABLE beyond the obituary material cited. HopsonRoad (talk) 21:42, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep - served multiple terms in his state legislature. Even one term makes him notable, by long-standing consensus at WP:POLITICIAN. --Orange Mike | Talk 23:43, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Serving in state legislature makes him notable. Acnetj (talk) 00:27, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- It looks like the article needs a little bit of cleanup, but I definitely believe he is notable enough for his own article. -- Dolotta (talk) 04:11, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep per Orange Mike, easily meets WP:POLITICIAN. The Mighty Glen (talk) 06:24, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep Served in the New Hampshire House of Representatives. Passes WP:NPOL. --Enos733 (talk) 07:35, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Article does need improvement, but serving in the state legislature is a straight pass of WP:NPOL #1. And because his term in the legislature was from 1985 to 1994, Google News is not where one would expect to find any evidence of reliable source coverage about him: Google is only reliable for finding recent news coverage within the past few years, not coverage that's 20 years old or more — for the latter, you need to search archival news databases like ProQuest or Newspapers.com or library microfilms, or wherever else one might find old Nashua Telegraph or New Hampshire Union Leader coverage. We do not have a requirement that our sources be web-published, so the inability to find Googlable coverage of a person whose notability claim predates the existence of Google is not in and of itself a reason for deletion.
