Claim to fame is being mayor of a town of less than 15k population; only sources are an obit and a list of mayors, i.e., no significant coverage whatsoever; doesn't come close to meeting WP:NPOL or WP:GNG. OhNo itsJamie Talk 04:42, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. A placeholder article awaiting new information if it can be found. Sources are off-line. An historical figure who left office 99 years ago.Billy Hathorn (talk) 02:29, 9 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)
 * Comment. The Drakes and Turners were pioneer families in Webster Parish. His mother was a Drake and his father a Turner. Sources are off-line at this point.
