 * Keep - Needs wikification. Provision of a venue for neutral presentation of biographical information of candidates for elective office constitutes one of Wikipedia's greatest public services. Active politicians such as this should face the lowest of all possible bars for inclusion. Carrite (talk) 23:38, 18 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - Are only the rich and powerful allowed to have a Wikipedia page? It is unfair to allow an incumbent politician to have a Wikipedia page but delete the page of a credible opposing candidate. Wikipedia should not be a judging which politicians are notable and which are not, all deserve an opportunity .  User:Wm_borah (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 14:49, 19 August 2010 (UTC).

 * Comment Notable local politicians can have articles, but require similar notability standards to other, independent, verifiable sources. See WP:POLITICIAN. By your standards that we should let all politicians regardless of notability- then every high school class president should have an article. Funny your comment is the exact same as the original creator- sockpuppet? Bhockey10 (talk) 23:01, 19 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - Chuck Thomsen is a political figure that is of great importance to our area. He is very notable is his Senate District (SD19).
