Comment: Yes, the article is in poor condition as written, and needs significant improvement — but verifiable members of state legislatures have a straight pass of  #1. It's true that for politicians in the 19th century, our articles are ''often'' of poor quality — but it's not that they don't have sources, it's that Wikipedians tend to be ''lazy'' about locating any sources above and beyond whatever they can find in a quick Google News search, so topics outside of the current news cycle often get overlooked and undersourced. But our rule is not that the ''article'' has to surpass any particular quality level — if the appropriate sources merely |exist to improve the article with, then we keep the article and just flag it for improvement
