In its evaluation of\nthe merits of nominees, such commission shall consider, including but\nnot limited to, the following factors: the historical impact of such\nperson, site or event, how such impact changed history, and the effect\nthat such person, site or event had on the state and whether such\nperson, site, or event that has been overlooked.\n  4.
