• Keep He was a member of parliament for 6 years. Article does need a lot of work. But his name gets a decent ammount of news results [1], suggesting he meets WP:N. --W.marsh 01:56, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Parliament of Victoria that is. Still, notable enough for me given the news results. --W.marsh 02:00, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as per WP:BIO. Member of provincial legislature and member of the Shadow Ministry in Victoria makes him notable enough. Capitalistroadster 02:51, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Needs cleanup, that's for sure. He was Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party in the Victorian Upper House, and held several shadow ministries himself (Ports, Natural Resources and Energy), so a bit more notable than the article makes out. I'm not sure you understand the meaning of Parliamentary Secretary (i.e. they're not a secretary in the "Mr Furletti, take a letter" sense of the word). --Canley 02:56, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: article needs improvement, but members of Parliament are notable.--Grahamec 03:15, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep All members of a national legislature are of course notable. But this seems to be the parliament of one of the provinical governments of Australia. I am not the least sure whether all members of a provincial (or US state) legislature are notable. This is a wider stretch than I've previously seen. (Assuming I am not totally wrong about the Govt. structure of Australia)DGG 03:22, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. WP:BIO seems to expect that provincial (and U.S. state) legislators will be notable. The news hits seem to bear that out here. Mwelch 03:26, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - from WP:BIO Politicians who have held international, national or statewide/provincewide office, and members and former members of a national, state or provincial legislatures - that's pretty specific. Garrie 04:29, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
