• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 15:55, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

• Keep - no evidence that the author is the subject of the article; also, an elected state representative counts as notable (per WP:NOTE, and my understanding of the importance of state govts in the US political system). Walton monarchist89 17:30, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep state polititian, though the article is in bad/sad shape. needs a lot of work and npov. --Tainter 18:43, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

• Keep - this page is notable and is a fantastic resource for political history in this little town. The page would remain well-written if TechTrav would stop placing his articles in illogical places. Kiamanchi— Kiamanchi (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Oklahoma-related deletions. -- SkierRMH 02:09, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. This person is nowhere near notable. We do NOT generally include articles on state legislators, I don't think (and if we do, we shouldn't) unless they are notable for some other reason. This article is way too long and goes into far too much detail; if it survives it should be pared way, way back. But it shouldn't survive. Herostratus 05:36, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Notable person. Dwain 00:00, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - while the subject may be more or less notable, the article is in poor shape and does seem to be written with a distinct POV-push. It's arguable that state legislators are notable, but none of my local legislators have articles, and I really don't think they are of a concern except to local interest. —Keakealani·?·!·@ 07:12, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete This guy is a nobody. He is just an excited young politician. He most likely wrote it himself. Look back at other famous Oklahoma politicians(i.e.Carl Albert) and see that their pages are roughlt 1/4 the size of this guys. This guy might think he is the next Henry Bellman, but he has some work to do. joetcrocker 14:41, January 25 2007 (UTC)
