Ought to be a user page; as it is, this is a vanity page. To those who browse vfd pages: if I have my own "about me" page as my "User:Ryan Prior" page, is that considered vanity or is that alright?
 * I don't see how this is a vanity page. I consider elected officials to be encyclopedic information, although the article does need some cleaning up. Keep and clean up. As for your question, I think it's generally okay to have some personal info in your user page as long as it doesn't become a substitute for a real personal website. -Doozer (Talk) 23:16, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Just because somebody is a politician dosn't mean that they deserve an entry. He isn't a particularly notable representative; perhaps merge with a page regarding the current House of Reps? Ryan Prior 23:28, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and clean up – a lot. State representatives are inherently notable. As it now stands, this is more of a vanity page than anything else. I don't care about this man's hobbies; I might care about his views on important issues and legislation he's sponsored. android&harr;talk 00:00, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep I think it needs to be kept and cleaned up.
 * Keep I cleaned it up a bit. But much more should be done. Please help.
 * Keep, state representative is notable. Please sign your comments, so that we know who has posted them, by typing "&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;". Thanks. EvilPhoenix 05:26, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep cleanup and expand. Notable politician. Megan1967 05:52, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, I don't know much about US politics, but this guy certainly seems notable. --the wub (talk) 07:48, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Assuming he's actually a "representative" instead of a "reprehensive".  Quale 08:18, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, WP:VAIN and kill the socks. Radiant_* 08:24, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Establishes notability in the first sentence. 23skidoo 14:08, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep state reps. Meelar (talk) 16:13, May 19, 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete: State rep, and, in case no one has noticed it, misnamed article. Miniscule last name?  Pardon me?  Geogre 01:27, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep state reps, use the 'move this page' button as necessary (seems to have been done). Kappa 09:31, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
