Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charles L. Walters
with a side order of '''snow'''. People who have |verifiably served in state legislatures are kept — they do ''not'' have to achieve anything special that would mark them out as ''more'' notable than their other colleagues in the legislature before they qualify, because state legislators are a class of topic, just like federal congresspeople, where Wikipedia ''consensus'' has decided that our goal is to be as complete as feasibly possible a reference for ''all'' of them. Walters served in the 1890s, meaning that proper sourcing is going to be harder to ''locate'' than it is for someone who's serving in the house in 2017 — it won't generally be sitting out on Google for the most part, but will require digging into ''archival'' sourcing such as microfilms or news retrieval databases like ProQuest — but we know for a fact that improved sourcing exists ''somewhere'', because state legislative politics is a thing that media covers. So this could certainly still be flagged for {{tl|refimprove}}, but the only thing a state legislator ''requires'' to be non-deletable is the fact that his holding of the office is |verifiable in at least ''one'' |reliable source. Any further issues with the article beyond that are matters for the ''researching'' and ''editing'' processes, not the AFD process
