  • Delete Subject fails NPOL and GNG. Billy Hathorn, the creator, was arrogant enough to use something he himself wrote as a source which is generally prohibited. Chris Troutman ( talk) 11:08, 13 September 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Being a small town mayor and holding a few other local positions does not satisfy WP:NPOL. OhNoitsJamie Talk 19:52, 13 September 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete non-notable local politician. We have a very large number of articles on non-notable local politicians from Louisiana. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 01:42, 14 September 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete for lack of sources. The book could be a good start but other than that, all we have for secondary sourcing is Shreveport, i.e. hometown, paper. Doesn't offer a lot in terms of giving outside perspectives. It's too bad, to be candid I think well-sourced entries on small-town politicians could enrich the encyclopedia. Doesn't seem like we have the material for it in this case though. Innisfree987 ( talk) 03:53, 21 September 2016 (UTC) reply
