 * Keep. This certainly needs some improvement, but serving in a provincial legislature passes WP:NPOL #1 right on its face. At the provincial, state and federal levels, we do not apply any notability tests above and beyond the fact that their holding of the office is properly verifiable — we would certainly still delete an outright hoax about an MLA who never actually existed at all, but a person who is plainly verifiable as having held a seat in the provincial legislature does not have to be demonstrably more notable than his other colleagues, because the importance of Wikipedia being a complete reference for elected legislators at the provincial, state and federal levels overrides anybody's individual opinions about who did or more less significant work in the legislature. And while our articles about people who held office 40 years ago often feature considerably less substance and less sourcing than our articles about people who hold the same office today, it's not because media coverage of politicians is some newfangled thing that somehow only emerged in the 21st century — it's because Wikipedians have a collective tendency toward laziness, and often just rely on sources they can find within five minutes on a Google search rather than actually digging into newspaper archives to find the coverage that absolutely did exist 40 years ago.
