BLP with only one source. I'm not finding any indication that the writer passes WP:ANYBIO or WP:AUTHOR. ALH (talk) 21:01, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep Came to this conclusion after some thought. While normally I'd agree that the subject has not achieved the level of notability that we like to see, I've found that there are a couple of articles on Wikipedia where he is a reference for that article--and by looking around, I believe that there is potential for more of the same.  It then stands to reason (at least for me) that a stub article about the author is a "good" thing as it provides details about the sources of other articles.  WP:ANYBIO and WP:AUTHOR are guidelines not policy (good ones at that) but I think there is a reason to ignore them in this case.  I think it would be good for Wikipedia.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:37, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Redirect to Billings Gazette unless a bit more is found, merging in a sentence or two at that article would address some of the issue Paul McDonald properly raises. --j⚛e deckertalk 18:46, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
 * No objection, that is a good alternative with me.--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:30, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
