Deletion of Buddy Garcia

Comment: The  nominator is incorrect: the Texas Railroad Commission is a statewide ''elected'' body, and a powerful one,  "historically one of the most important regulatory bodies in the nation" and "an important actor on the national energy stage".http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/mdr01.   does not exclude someone who is appointed to fill a vacancy for this elective position, any more than would be someone appointed to a vacancy for any other elected statewide office. Such an exclusion rule would leave pointless gaps in our coverage, gaps that don't yield any benefit for those who may come here for information about this important elected body. Contrary to the nominator's intemperate edit summary comment when nominating this for AfDhttp://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Buddy_Garcia&diff=554208141&oldid=554195850, the deprodding editor was hardly "obstinate" in exercising xis right to move a questionable prod to full consideration and taking the time to examine the question more carefully is not a "waste of 7 days
