The result was soft delete. WP:REFUND applies. Conceding a consensus to delete... it's pretty weak. So I'm calling this a soft delete. Ad Orientem (talk) 02:15, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Not Sure - He might have notability by way of that Kyzer matter, which seems to have plenty of coverage. I'll look into this and report back. Cosmic Sans (talk) 18:19, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete without prejudice if nationalized sources about the subject are found. It appears that the subject had a productive 14-year career (described here: https://www.tuscaloosanews.com/news/20131101/tuscaloosa-district-attorney-tommy-smith-retires-lyn-head-sworn-in), but there is not the nationalization of coverage that the community generally expects of a locally-elected official. --Enos733 (talk) 20:35, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment If his coverage is solely from his involvement in the Kyzer case. Wouldn't it be a case of WP:BLP1E? Best, GPL93 (talk) 23:52, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
