Strong Keep Meets WP:NPOL as someone having held "national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office" and a "member or former member of a national, state or provincial legislature" AusLondonder (talk) 05:35, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
While the WP:CIRCULAR referencing to other Wikipedia articles certainly had to be stripped, other sources are present in the article besides that — and a promotional tone can be cleaned up through the normal editing process. But duly elected members of state legislatures do pass WP:NPOL #1 as long as their status as members can be properly verified. Keep and flag for cleanup; I've already stripped the circular references. Bearcat (talk) 16:54, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
