 :You are correct.  Thank you for reminding me. I was probably thinking ""how likely is it that a state- or similar-level lawmaker would meet WP:GNG, is it so likely that it can be presumed"" and came to the conclusion that there are enough exceptions that the presumption would be weak.  Obviously, long-standing Wikipedia consensus says otherwise. 
 :In some United States states (e.g. Vermont and Wyoming), each legislator represents less than 10,000 people, making it significantly likely that the person will only have ""local"" media coverage plus ""trivial"" coverage of the person ""just doing their job"" in newspapers which report all legislative proceedings.  By comparison, some cities in the United States have single-member city councils whose members represent many times this number, but because the councilmember generally does not receive significant non-local coverage, he generally fails WP:N. // "
