Notable only as a state circuit court judge, and sources are mostly local to Minden. Notability not inherited from some of his more famous relatives, and his "historical" confrontation with Huey Long may be WP:BIO1E. Page also created by serial copyright violater whose articles are being PCCed as we speak. FoxyGrampa75 (talk) 16:52, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete another Billy Hathorn special. I do wish we had other people who pub such energy into creating articles on members of state legislatures as he did, but he took notability way too far and created lots of articles on people who clearly fail such. Drew is one of many such people.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:02, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Neither state circuit court judges nor district attorneys are guaranteed an automatic notability freebie just for existing, but in classic Billy Hathorn fashion the sourcing ain't doing what it needs to do to get this one over the bar — it's referenced to a mix of routine reportage of election results, primary sources that are not support for notability at all, tangential verification of stray facts about his relatives and colleagues which has no bearing whatsoever on Drew's notability, and a tiny titch of local death coverage in Minden's local media which does not clinch a person's notability all by itself if it's the best you can show.
