 * Delete per WP:NPOL. Barring that, I'm not seeing the WP:SIGCOV demonstrated within the article (or from performing my own quick search outside Wikipedia). —MelbourneStar ☆ talk 11:59, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete don't see any evidence of notability. BubbaJoe123456 (talk) 15:41, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
 *  Speedy Snow Delete - Besides the article being completely incompetently written, and almost bare of references, the subject is a minor local official who does not pass WP:NPOL. Beyond My Ken (talk) 15:46, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete on WP:GNG and WP:NPOL grounds. SportingFlyer  T · C  17:05, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Snow Delete. Run-of-the-mill lawyer and small-town politician. Does not pass any notability guideline of any stripe. TJRC (talk) 02:57, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Possible hoax. I can find no evidence that the town of Quenson, Florida has ever existed. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  04:51, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I find no evidence that Evansville, Florida has ever existed. This increasingly looks like a complete fabrication. Cullen<sup style="color:#707">328  Let's discuss it  04:55, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
 * His claimed birth town of Antonville, Florida also does not exist, and the name and occupations are anodyne. Hoax. <b style="color:#070">Cullen</b><sup style="color:#707">328  Let's discuss it  04:59, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Burn it with fire. (But... "anodyne"?) TJRC (talk) 05:30, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah, a hoax should've occurred to me when we had no articles on any of those places, when Palmer's listed stint in the army went past his listed civilian occupation dates, by the odd number of times "Jack" appeared in the article in various names, by finding no reference to "Florida First Cemetery" on Google, by the photo having been listed as appearing in the American City Manual I can find no record of the US Gov't Printing Office ever publishing, and other irregularities., as a hoax isn't it speedy deletable under G3?  Also, shouldn't the block on the creator, John Doe Texas, be extended to indef, and the photo be deleted as well? Beyond My Ken (talk) 05:32, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I think that the course of action you suggest is the proper one, and I endorse it, but I prefer that another administrator make that judgment, based on the growing evidence of a hoax. <b style="color:#070">Cullen</b><sup style="color:#707">328   Let's discuss it  05:40, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I've reported it at AN/I, here. Beyond My Ken (talk) 06:00, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
