  • Comment: Notable as he was a state officeholder although there might need be a citation or two more before I could accept. Eternal Shadow Talk 15:18, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
  • Comment: The fact that the subject exists is not enough - there needs to be detailed, non-trivial coverage in reliable independent sources for them to be notable. — Bilorv (talk) 16:55, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
