Why is there no article on Republican Member of Congress Charles Henry of LA, who just abruptly resigned?

Why is there no article on Republican Member of Congress Charles Henry of LA, who just abruptly resigned without explanation the week after Insurrection Day?

(He said he had to shift priorities after the birth of his son and the pandemic. https://www.nola.com/news/politics/elections/article_dca8c176-54fb-11eb-9a27-d3a913b3e535.html) Obviously, it must have something to do with the events of Insurrection Day, Wednesday, January 6th. Republican Rep. Charles Henry did not vote to challenge acceptance of the Electoral College votes for either Arizona or Pennsylvania. The possibility exists that he might have been threatened (or at least, lived in fear) in connection with the impeachment proceedings. I suggest that it would be appropriate to start a Wikipedia article on him. He is noteworthy as the ONLY member of the House (yet) to resign after this. Doubtless, more details will emerge. He should definitely be listed on this disambiguation page. WordwizardW (talk) 16:46, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

If you read the article that you linked, you will see that Henry was a *state* representative in Louisiana, not a U.S Representative from Louisiana. And Henry did not vote on the counting of electoral votes by Congress on January 6 for the simple reason that he was not (and never has been) a member of Congress.

Not every member of a state house of representatives is notable enough to have an article on Wikipedia, but Henry probably meets the notability requirement. If you wish to create an article for Henry, go ahead, but if you do make sure to write about who he is and not about the imaginary congressman forced to resign because of the January 6 riot in Congress that you created from whole cloth.
