 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Article about a Colorado state legislator without any significant claim to fame or notability. Subject fails WP:GNG and even more so WP:NPOL. What one can find online or off are trivia such as : typically laconic, mandatory mentions in the 1923 edition of Laws Passed by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado; a report in the Colorado State Teachers College Mirror newspaper about legislators visiting Colorado State University, in which our subject's mentioned once; and a Colorado State student's write up about Baker, copied from a database that lists almost every woman that attained a political position (and even that text admits that Baker's "most active year" was 1921 when she chaired the Education Committee). That's practically all. But Wikipedia is neither a directory nor a historical journal. -The Gnome (talk) 21:59, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep Legislators pass WP:NPOL. There is no dispute that the subject did serve in the Colorado legislature. --Enos733 (talk) 22:29, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
