Delete I tried to explain the situation [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ALonelyBeacon&diff=297626563&oldid=296748354 here]. Zagalejo^^^ 06:05, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
Comment Why not just move to David Sullivan (Illinois politician) and delete the redirect and be done with this AfD? David Sullivan was a Republican member in Illinois. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 06:49, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Move to the proper name — assuming that you can provide a source for his office, there's no reason to delete this once it's at the right name. Nyttend (talk) 02:48, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
Move to the proper name if it can be verified (I was not able to do so), else delete. JJL (talk) 03:07, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

:* Most refs are behind pay walls, but here's [http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=BL&p_theme=bl&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EB146A8525092BB&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM one]. He isn't a State Senator any more, but per the note Zagalejo references above, this was the intended article. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 03:37, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Keep and move to Dave Sullivan (Illinois politician) and then delete the resulting incorrect redirect. I added a little bit more info and some sources, and this guy definitely existed and definitely was a State Senator. If being a U.S. state legislator certifies someone as being notable, this man certainly qualifies. However, the article name s incorrect; the proper one is Dave Sullivan (Illinois politician).
