The result was  Keep WP:POLITICIAN is a subject-specific guideline that presumes notability for "members and former members of a national, state or provincial legislature". In this case, the person was elected to his state legislature on November 2, and is scheduled to be sworn in to office as one of the members of that legislature two months from now. Although one could make the point that a state representative-elect is, technically, not yet entitled to a stand-alone Wikipedia article, there would be no question of the application of policy in January. Anyone may ask for deletion review, and nomination may be made again in January if the scheduled entry into the legislature does not take place. Mandsford 22:06, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Politician, non notable before election, and has yet to take office, so has done nothing notable in office Wuh  Wuz  Dat  15:14, 6 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep because newly elected members of state legislatures are clearly notable under WP:POLITICIAN when sworn in. There is no benefit to deleting this set of articles now. Instead, improve them and expand them over time. Cullen328 (talk)
 * Keep. State legislators are normally considered notable per WP:POLITICIAN. Since this person has won election, he merely needs to stay alive for two more months to achieve that criterion. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:45, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
