Oliver C. Thomas

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Notability is not established by local newspaper sources. The only thing he is partly notable for, that is being president of an association, has zero hits on Google News; a Google search of ""Texas Good Roads/Transportation Association" Oliver Thomas" brings up this article, a few obituaries, and other things that don't look to be related. Lastly, I believe that there are plagiarism problems with the article and its primary source, the obituary. — Ed   (Talk  •  Contribs)  06:53, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and my discussion with him at User talk:the_ed17. The article creator seems to have had a recent spate of writing obituary-style articles on individuals of local interest, but having had an obituary in the local newspaper doesn't mean notability. r ʨ anaɢ talk/contribs 06:56, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
