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, including his state representative father. Page also created by serial copyright violater whose articles are being PCCed as we speak. FoxyGrampa75 (talk) 16:58, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. State circuit court is not an automatic free pass over our notability standards for judges, but the article is not reliably sourced for the purposes of getting him over the bar he would actually have to clear — as usual for Billy Hathorn content, it is "referenced" to a mix of unreliable sources that are not support for notability at all, clarifying notes that aren't actually references of any sort, and purely tangential referencing of stray biographical facts about his family members, with no evidence whatsoever of reliable source coverage about him.

Delete circuit court judges are the lowest level where criminal trials occur. They are not notable by default. We need lots of significant coverage which is lacking here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:36, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
