Was mayor for 2 years of Minden, Louisiana, population <15k. Only sources presented are obitauary/cemetery records and a "list of mayors." No evidence whatsoever of significant reliable source coverage. OhNoitsJamie Talk 04:44, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

- Keep. Off-line sources only. Terms were then two years. Left office 93 years ago. Placeholder article. Billy Hathorn ( talk) 15:13, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
- Delete. Mayor of what is a pretty small town today and must have been much smaller when he was around. No real notability. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 14:39, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

- The mayoralty of a town of this size is not an automatic WP:NPOL pass — and while Wikipedia does not deprecate offline sourcing, we still have to actually cite those sources. We cannot keep an article on the basis of a claim that offline sources exist, if those offline sources have not actually been cited for verification. Delete.
