This is an old biography dating back to 2006. His role as a judge and politician can be verified, but I don't think that qualifies him for WP:NPOL in itself. The gist of his claim to notability seems to be that he was also a singer. Curb Safe Charmer ( talk) 17:34, 20 November 2019 (UTC) reply

• Speedy keep. WP:NPOL states members of legislative bodies at the sub- national (e.g. state level) are presumed to be notable. -- Kbabej ( talk) 17:58, 20 November 2019 (UTC) reply
• Keep. Subject passes WP:NPOL as the Missouri House of Representatives. CASSIOPEIA^{( talk)} 06:02, 21 November 2019 (UTC) reply
• Keep. Article does need improvement, but properly verifiable state legislators pass WP:NPOL #1 right on its face. This is simply an old article that was created according to old standards, and hasn't been maintained or improved lately — but state legislators do not have to demonstrate that they were appreciably more notable than other state legislators to qualify for articles, they merely need to be verifiable as having been state legislators. And reliable source coverage will most certainly exist — it's just that for a person who held office 50 years ago, he won't be in the current news cycle and his sources will be found in news archiving databases rather than out on the Google.

• NOMINATION WITHDRAWN I would like to withdraw the nomination. Thank you to @ Kbabej, CASSIOPEIA, and Bearcat for graciously putting me straight on how cut-and-dried NPOL is. Facepalm Curb Safe Charmer ( talk) 12:43, 22 November 2019 (UTC) reply
