Deletion of Nels J. Smith

Comment: He clearly meets our notability guideline . Since he was Speaker of the Wyoming House of Representatives, a search of Wyoming newspapers will inevitably yield plenty of coverage. The article should be expanded and improved, not deleted

Comment: I contested the PROD. As other editors noted, the subject passes the  guideline. A quick search for reliable sources yielded some relevant hits: https://books.google.com/books?id=uHqVYTkA08YC&pg=PA236&lpg=PA236&dq=Nels+Smith+Speaker&source=bl&ots=BnYzgOrBHj&sig=T6L_1pXttrm8VlPyu4IF-1VR8-c&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjH7-nd4bLJAhWK6SYKHfYuCMEQ6AEIMDAD#v=onepage&q=Nels%20Smith%20Speaker&f=false, https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1407&dat=19761216&id=i0tlAAAAIBAJ&sjid=vpMNAAAAIBAJ&pg=2956,2883718&hl=en. Other issues like being a stub or an autobiography are to be fixed by editing
