Deletion of Steven D. Smith

Comment: State legislators are inherently notable per  #1. The fact that New Hampshire's state legislature happens to be larger than many other state legislatures, with 400 members instead of 150, does not mean they get excluded from standard practice — state legislators are one of those political roles where Wikipedia has an established consensus that as long as their holding of the role is properly |verifiable, they ''must'' be allowed to have articles ''regardless'' of any problems with the current state of their sourcing. There is no such thing as "state legislator who is less notable than other state legislators": as long as he's verifiably held the claimed political role, so that the article isn't an outright hoax, he stays and any issues with the article beyond that are matters for the editing process rather than the deletion process. Frex, he was first elected to office in 2010, according to the article — but 10-year-old media coverage doesn't Google all that well, and will have to be retrieved from archives or microfilms, so just Googling his name doesn't tell you the whole story. And tone problems can be fixed by rewriting for neutrality, so they aren't grounds for deletion in and of themselves either
