This page should not be speedy deleted because...I don't particularly care about the issues related to the page creator. Fred Dyson has been a public figure in Alaska for over a quarter century, including almost 15 years as a state legislator. He certainly qualifies for inclusion on here. WP:ALASKA hasn't exactly been around lately to do its job.-- RadioKAOS ( talk) 08:48, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
Reposted from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject US State Legislatures. What started as an issue (I felt was) specific to Ohio has branched out to affect legislators from other states. I'm not so interested in the politics of this user being banned or of G5. If there are issues which need to be addressed to improve this article, please address those. Thank you.
If anyone is still paying attention over here, apparently, there is an SD war going on over state legislator articles created by a banned user ( OSUHEY) and associated sockpuppets. The politics of that is really beyond my scope of interest. Of interest to this project, I would think, is that new articles are being created for state legislators (part of the short term goals I've read of on this project's page) and are being deleted for reasons peripheral to the subject's notability or the likelihood that the article can be expanded. I've twice found myself having to point this out in the case of Fred Dyson, which was deleted and quickly restored the second time an SD request came about. In the most recent instance, the admin in question repeatedly pointed to G5 in spite of other admins pointing out that the subject's notability trumps that consideration. From browsing around, it appears that this same scenario is occurring with other state legislator articles.
