Can't find anything adequate to source this. Dr. Blofeld      White cat 12:40, 7 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. I can confirm existance (here), but that's about it. No sources are apparent for the law firm, either. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 13:45, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep while sourcing does need to be improved, this is not a reason for deletion. He's a member of a US state senate, a first level sub national parliament, therefore meets WP:POLITICIAN. Valenciano (talk) 18:17, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep. Aren't state senators, with articles including them, presumptively notable?  See wp:politician, which states:  "A person is generally notable if they meet any of the following standards.... Politicians who have held ... sub-national (statewide...) office, and members and former members of a ... state ... legislature...."--Epeefleche (talk) 18:29, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep as a member of a sub-national legislature. -- Necrothesp (talk) 23:50, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes but can you find any sources which could actually be used to write an article??I can see no indication of significant coverage in independent sources.  Dr. Blofeld       White cat 16:33, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I would refer you back to the notability standards. A person is generally notable if they meet the standards that this person without question meets.  Full stop.  As to your working on the article, that is a different issue, but you might start with the articles to which I referred you above.--Epeefleche (talk) 20:32, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * As Epeefleche says. Maybe you're unaware of it, but stubs are perfectly acceptable articles. The fact he exists and he's a member of the legislature can be sourced and are perfectly sufficient for an article to exist. -- Necrothesp (talk) 07:42, 9 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. Per references added by Epeefleche it meets WP:GNG and WP:POLITICIAN. --Joshua Scott (formerly LiberalFascist) 02:17, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. In an ideal world, Wikipedia has articles on every legislator in the world for which verifiable sources exist. There are plenty of verifiable records for the Idaho legislature. It will just take an enterprising encyclopedist to go dig them up and use them to write a good article. ScienceApologist (talk) 19:24, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
