Billy Guin

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

County level official who fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOL. Despite the length and detail the article is almost entirely made up on non-reliable sources including: obituaries of people in local newspapers who are not the subject of the article (Sources 8,10, 12, 14, 15, 18, 21, 26, 31, 32, 33, & 34); his own obit (1); dead links to online searches (3 & 4); original research and personal notes from the article's since-banned author (2 & 22); Local Newspaper articles that are both unlinked and untitled so we can't even verify that they even existed (11, 13, 17, & 28); Census records that do nothing more than prove that Guinn did, indeed, exist (5); a dead link about a public high school (6); a link to an E-yearbook site (7); a self-cited work by the article author in the North Louisiana History (16); an article about his administrative assistant (19); PDF's of a lawsuit's (20, 23 & 27); a general fact check about water fluoridation on the John Birch Society's website (24); Some sort of local recorded history about Shreveport's debate over water fluoridation that mentions Guinn 3 total times in a 4 page span out of 182 total pages in the document (25); a dead link to what appears to have been a list of Baptist Deacons in Shreveport, LA (29); a dead link to the flyer for a banquet (30). While the article is detailed and in-depth there's not really anything about Guin that indicates notability, and the sources used in the article don't do anything to establish that he was significant enough to meet GNG.
