Extremely minor figure in JKF assassination (LBJ's driver that day), if article is true (I'm not sure ... was LBJ in Dallas at the time of the assassination, as this seems to suggest? I somehow recall that he flew there that night to pick up JFK's body). Doesn't seem notable. Daniel Case 04:02, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep but cleanup. This guy just seems notable to me.  He describes seeing JFK's body (if those statements were really his).  I think the JFK assassination was sooo notable that it kind of made everyone around it notable by proxy.  Cyde Weys  04:39, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep but summarize his statement rather than putting it in full. Ruby 04:51, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Rewrite per Ruby Nick Catalano (Talk) 05:05, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'd say that someone in the motorcade who gave a first-hand description of the events is far from an extremely minor figure. Turnstep 17:34, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge with the JFK assassination. It says "most notable as" but it seems that he is "notable only as" the driver.  Statement text belongs in Wikisource. Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px|  ]] AfD? 20:42, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. Is anything in this article true? Did he exist? Did he say this? While nothing here screams "fake", WP has been fooled about the Kennedy assassination before. There needs to be a citation of verifiable sources.  MayerG 21:38, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Not a hoax: I did google and check verifiability for myself (as I do for all AfD articles), FWIW. Agree that it needs refs. Turnstep 01:54, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
