Does not satisfy WP:BIO. This is an article about minor one-term Ontario MPP. Sole source provided does not even point to right electoral results anymore. Sustymenko (talk) 11:39, 28 June 2011 (UTC) — Sustymenko (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep. Does meet WP:BIO. Please reread section on Politicians, criteria 1. EncyclopediaUpdaticus (talk) 12:24, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. Article could stand to have some more references, but the link to his biography from the Legislative Assembly of Ontario verifies that he meets WP:POLITICIAN criterion 1, specifically that he is a "former member of a national, state or provincial legislature." &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 14:43, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Of course. Interesting to note how few edits the nominator has. → ROUX   ₪  15:53, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep, WP:SNOWBALL. MPPs are by default notable, and this one was also in cabinet as a Minister without Portfolio.   PK  T (alk)  18:48, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is rather frivolous. -- Earl Andrew - talk 19:12, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep, per everyone bar the nominator. CJCurrie (talk) 23:25, 28 June 2011
