Comment – As far as I can discover, this is not a notable person in U.S. history. Brief article provides no info about accomplishments or policies, other than serving three years in N.Y. state Senate. EV thus seems dubious. Sca (talk) 20:31, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support - He's notable per WP:POLITICIAN ("Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature." are presumed notable) and that's enough for FPC. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:32, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support - This is, I believe, the only image of him on Commons.--Godot13 (talk) 01:01, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
