First Wife?

Wasn't Pedro Nava married to someone else at one point? We should probably mention that here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.187.160.28 (talk) 18:49, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Notability?

The following discussion is an archived record of a request for comment. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this discussion. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

There can't be any doubt about his notability, per WP:NPOL # 1, as a member of a state legislature. (non-admin closure) Kraxler (talk) 03:18, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I came across this article while searching articles needing cleaning and I'm not sure if he is notable. The article obviously has issues and a look through the history shows it. My searches found results at News, Highbeam and a few Newspapers Archive. Also a few results at Books (but nothing looks promising) and nothig at Thefreelibrary. It seems he may be notable but I wanted to know before editing the article (if found notable, I'm willing to improve it). SwisterTwister talk 18:35, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notable. Elected officials are considered notable. Andrew³²⁷ 00:17, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notable - As above, elected officials are notable. It's a mess though so good luck whipping it into shape :). Flat Out (talk) 00:27, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Why is an RFC being used to determine notability? The usual means for checking notability is Articles for Deletion. As an elected state legislator, he passes notability. If this were at AFD, I would recommend blow it up and start over. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:59, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Robert McClenon: That's what I initially intended but considering the article is a mess and there was a possibility he was notable, I wanted comments rather than a possible AfD where they'll say speedy keep. SwisterTwister talk 18:17, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I made this a stub, as 99.9% of the material was unsourced, per WP:BLP and WP:V. It is in the history, and it can be brought back with appropriate sourcing. - Cwobeel (talk) 00:25, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That is more acceptable, thanks. I was willing to improve it but honestly it seemed like it was going to be too much work (as it is, I'm not a fan or expert of politics). SwisterTwister talk 05:51, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think this RfC is a little off the mark, because AfD is the usual place to determine notability; but for what it's worth, as an elected official he is clearly notable. Cwobeel did the right thing in cleaning out unsourced info. Vanamonde93 (talk) 03:08, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
