• Keep Holding a public office is a reason for notability, it is just unfortunate his article has not been filled in better. Research time! --Ozgod 19:28, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 14:43, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, I find no secondary sources available whatsoever, and none are cited. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me Please review me!} 09:15, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. I added some references from the Illinois legislature itself. --Eastmain 02:26, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Except for the Tribune (which is a name-drop), those are all primary sources. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me Please review me!} 04:06, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep Nominated by an anon user (as their first, and only, edit) with no deletion rationale provided. Resolute 06:21, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per sources added. Primary sources are acceptable as long as they "only make descriptive claims". All of the information in the article is currenlty description. Also, is it just me or is no reason for deletion given? -- Black Falcon 07:48, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, provided more citations are added from other secondary sources. Smee 10:12, 27 February 2007 (UTC).
• Keep Elected officials at the state/provincial level are notable. --Charlene 12:12, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Politicians are notable, all current Canadian federal MP's and many ex-MP's have articles. Although, this article would need some serious expansion--JForget 00:19, 28 February 2007 (UTC).
• Keep. Expansion would be nice, but Wikipedia is better off with this stub than with nothing, so keep it. JamesMLane t c 03:53, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
