This is an article for an obscure mayor of a town. It is only a few sentences long. It does not even have the mayor's date of birth. Unless it can be expanded, (which I doubt it can for someone so obscure), it should probably either merged, redirected, or deleted entirely. Bibbly Bob (talk) 13:12, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment She is a State Rep in MA. Lots of press coverage for her, over a 20 year period, here. It can definitely be expanded if someone is interested. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 19:23, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I forgot to mention that along with the comment. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 20:07, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep per Spaceman7Spiff's find. She was both a mayor and state rep.  I also did my own search and found an extensive amount of material.  I think this is a classic case of a stub that could be easily expanded into a rich, tightly-sourced article.  Some of the material seems to have national reach, i.e. this discussion of homosexuality in schools: .  As a state rep, she sponsored a lot of legislation, and has sustained media attention in this role.  Cazort (talk) 22:04, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, as above. Greenman (talk) 23:16, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep as per everyone but the nominator. Edward321 (talk) 23:24, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep both as mayor of a notable city, (not town), and a a member of the state legislature. Regardless of the view about the mayoralty, that status of legislator is accepted as always justifying an article. DGG (talk) 00:14, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep State legislators are inherently notable per the guideline WP:POLITICIAN. If the person has verifiably been a state legislator, the deletion discussion is pointless and irrelevant. and should be closed as keep. If you do not agree then try and change the guideline.

 * Keep. I'm usually leery of posts that call for application of WP:SNOW but for this nomination I'll make an exception.  Close as keep now. JamesMLane t c 22:34, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
