 * Elected officials at the American state level are considered notable by default. State senators, state representatives, etc. Note that the majority of the article has nothing to do with the misbehavior of Mr. Kernell's son, and that there are many published sources.

 * Keep. Member of a state legislature, kept per WP:POLITICIAN. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:54, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
 * If there are issues with the content of the article, those can be flagged for cleanup — but members of state legislatures are always notable per WP:NPOL #1, and may never be deleted as "non-notable" regardless of how "minor" you think they were.

 * WTF Keep? A guy who's been in a state legislature for 38 years isn't a "minor political figure," period. There are nearly 150 countries that have smaller populations than Tennessee.  Nha Trang  Allons! 22:10, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep if someone removes all but one sentence about his son's conviction - this article was created solely to tie him to the scandal. Allons!, in the US a 38 year political career is not notable, it's common.
