• Keep. State senators pass WP:POLITICIAN and Google News searches yield plenty of relevant hits (some behind paywalls). AfD is not cleanup. • Gene93k (talk) 15:44, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep a former member of a state legislature. And the nom should read WP:BEFORE instead of using language that seems to demand that other people do the work. Jim Miller ^{See me | Touch me} 17:11, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Notable by definition as a state senator. Eskimo, I notice that you recently made a number of deletion nominations or prods giving the rationale "source it or delete it". That is not a valid rationale for deletion. A valid rationale would be something like "unverified" or "non-notable", and before you make that nomination, you are supposed to do a little research to see if verification or evidence of notability actually do exist. Thank you for your efforts to clean up Wikipedia, but please be more careful to give a valid rationale. --MelanieN (talk) 17:31, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Thanks to User:Jim Miller, the article is no longer unsourced. --MelanieN (talk) 04:45, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
