Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dennis Carpenter
The article could certainly use improvement, but state legislators do pass  and do get media and other reliable source coverage — the difference is that because he held office in the 1970s, his coverage will be in news databases rather than out on the Google. We don't have a blanket ban on short stubs at Wikipedia — we obviously deprecate short stubs that don't have a strong basis for notability, but if somebody ''does'' have a strong basis for notability, like having verifiably served in a state legislature, then we don't delete the article just for not already being longer than it is
