2. As the article in question is a stub with few sources and little in the way of notability it should likely be removed. Comrade GC (talk) 16:43, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

3. LGM's suggestion to add a brief note about this individual on the GOP article does seem reasonable, as thus I am changing my vote from delete to merge. Comrade GC (talk) 21:58, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

1. I'm opposed to deleting it. I looked at the article itself and he doesn't seem like a who just made a one-off sexist remark. One of the references cited, "Rep. Lawrence Lockman made a career of making vile comments about AIDS, LGBTQ people, women, abortion and rape." And even the article says that he is "a long time bigot, misogynist, and generally ignorant hater." He also has a Wikipedia page. On the other hand, despite the claims that imply he's influential, there doesn't seem to be plentiful resources for this politician; even a search on Right Wing Watch has nothing and a generic search engine result aren't notable. I don't support a full article, but his presence is a contribution to the idea that the Republican Party has a bunch of sexist Sus scrofa. I think article at present should be merged to the A very long list of Republicans subsection at the very least. --It's-a me, LeftyGreenMario! 00:37, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

   I'd favor merging it into A very long list of Republicans as well. Regards, Cosmikdebris (talk) 21:48, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

   A sound compromise in my opinion, as thus I will switch my vote from delete to merge. Comrade GC (talk) 21:56, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
