There is a lot of detail here, but I'm struggling to see how being the mayor of a small Louisiana town for two years renders him notable. Marquardtika (talk) 22:20, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete being the mayor of a city with less than 7,000 people (that was Minden's population at the time) is not enough to make one notable, no other claims to notability exist.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:28, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, an unencyclopaedic mass of trivia. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:28, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Please note: this page is by banned serial copyright-violator Billy Hathorn (depressingly massive CCI, SPI). If it is not deleted, all running text added by Hathorn will need to be presumptively removed. On the face of it, it looks as if much of this was taken more or less verbatim from an obituary notice.

 * Delete as a presumptive copyright violation. MER-C 15:32, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Mayors of small towns are not automatically presumed notable just because they exist, but the sourcing here isn't cutting it for getting him over WP:GNG. Far too many of them are primary sources that cannot support notability at all, or references in which Culbertson wasn't the subject of the reference but merely had his existence namechecked, or footnotes which just go "Newspaper, Date" without actually specifying the title of the specific piece of content that's being referred to. And given that the creator has been banned for serial copyvio (700 known copyvios?!?), we have to presume that the same applies here in the absence of evidence to the contrary, not vice versa.

 * Nominator's comment: there are a bunch more similar articles (way too detailed copyright-violating local history pieces by Billy Hathorn), many of which I've just nominated for deletion (found them at Template:Revised Minden, Louisiana Mayors, a template which should also be deleted).
