Fails WP:NPOL as a one term mayor of Springhill, Louisiana (Population:5,279) and an unsuccessful candidate for the state house of representatives. All coverage is either local or through obituaries. GPL93 ( talk) 19:54, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

- Delete. Springhill LA is not large enough to guarantee the "inherent" notability of its mayors in the absence of a properly sourced pass of WP:NPOL #2 — but as usual for Billy Hathorn content, this is not properly substantiating that he passes NPOL #2. Many of the sources here are not coverage about him for the purposes of establishing his notability, but are tangential verification of stray facts about other people — and the sources which are actually about him are just routine local coverage of the type that every mayor of every small town can always show, not adding up to evidence that he's a special case of significantly greater notability than most other smalltown mayors. As always, mayors of small towns have to clear a much higher bar than just being technically verifiable as having existed. Bearcat ( talk) 16:09, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
