Deletion of John Verkamp

Comment: on all the above:  members of '''state''' legisulatures now qualify under ?  When and how did this come about?  This is just as absurd as local high schools getting their own articles.  Last I checked, which was a couple of months ago, members of federal or national legislatures qualify, members of state and provincial legislatures do not.  Where was the discussion which led to this change, or was this just somebody making an arbitrary edit to  with no consensus to do so
