Why page should be deleted
Those who have self-appointed themselves as arbiters of Wikipedia may dismiss any effort to delete this page as "vandalism," but the subject is no longer a public figure and the entry is mostly hagiography and largely a stub entry to boot. To suggest it's indispensable is to elevate form over substance. The subject of the entry has been targeted by mail fraud and telephone harassment. Such things matter outside the academic environment of Wikipedia. Even most current state legislators do not have Wikipedia entries. Washpol (talk) 16:32, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

Please note that there is no such thing as "used to be notable but isn't anymore" on Wikipedia. It doesn't matter if he's not in office anymore — if he ever held a notable office at all then he stays notable forever, and whether he still holds office today or not is irrelevant. George Washington isn't in office anymore either, because he's been dead for over 200 years — but he still held a notable office, and thus remains notable for that fact. We are not just a directory of current officeholders; we are an encyclopedia which is expected to maintain an article about everybody who ever held a notable office regardless of whether it was 200 years ago or ten years ago or today.
