Another obituary sourced from obituaries (and the ubiquitous master's dissertation of creator [[user:Billy Hathorn]]) <b>[[User Talk:JzG|Guy]]</b> <small>([[User:JzG/help|Help!]])</small> 21:06, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
*Wrong, he was a member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from 1966-1968, and state House members automatically qualify. His obituary was a news article in the Lafayette Daily Advertiser. [[User:Billy Hathorn|Billy Hathorn]] ([[User talk:Billy Hathorn|talk]]) 21:08, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
:* So he was. If only you'd respond to the RfC we would have less of this sort of problem. <b>[[User Talk:JzG|Guy]]</b> <small>([[User:JzG/help|Help!]])</small> 11:40, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
'''Keep'''. Mr. Miller was the No. 1 Republican in Lafayette Parish in the 1960s. He was elected to the legislature over very great odds and difficulties. Now, it is common for a Republican to win such elections in Lafayette, but it certainly was not in 1966. There is an interesting story too of the friendship that developed betwen political rivals Miller and "Sonny" Mouton. I cannot imagine this being challenged. Rules shouldn't be so rigid as to miss interesting stories.

* '''Keep.''' Member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from 1966-1968--[[User:Looktothis|Looktothis]] ([[User talk:Looktothis|talk]]) 15:20, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' since he was in the state legislature, he qualifies if we are going to be consistent. Following a simple rule like that would eliminate most of these unnecessary discussions. the ones who are elected get articles, the others dont.

*'''Strong keep''' per [[WP:BIO]]. Holders of elected statewide office are notable. [[User:Sarcasticidealist|Sarcasticidealist]] ([[User talk:Sarcasticidealist|talk]]) 10:45, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
