Does not meet the notability guideline (WP:POLITICIAN) for politicians. Should have qualified for speedy under A7. Geogene (talk) 16:29, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Since the Commission acts as a body with statewide authority, this nomination is in error, per . Withdrawn. Geogene (talk) 03:52, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Keep: WP:POLITICIAN includes "Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature." Presley's office isn't elected statewide, but the office is elected by 1/3 of the state (in population) and it makes decisions for the entire state. He's clearly on the same level as minor statewide elected officials and state legislators. Orser67 (talk) 00:34, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Presley passes the notability guidelines for politicians as they currently exist with his state-wide office. The question is not who elected him, but what he has power over.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:21, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
