 * Delete: No evidence of passing the GNG in his own right - I'd wager that all the print sources anyone could find from him are quotes from him on various party issues, something WP:N explicitly disallows - and fails WP:POLITICIAN.  Ravenswing  10:59, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep: Subject has received significant coverage from reliable and independent sources, including The Boston Globe and The Patriot Ledger. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 14:39, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep with the sources added by Hiro showing notability. Could an interested editor ensure that they are used in the article? Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:10, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep The sources added to the article indicate that he meets WP:BIO. Qrsdogg (talk) 16:12, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep His position as state chairman does not provide automatic qualification, but he meets WP:GNG through substantial coverage in the Patriot-Ledger, Boston Globe, and Enterprise-News. Nice rescue job, Hiro. --MelanieN (talk) 17:37, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
