Delete. Local sheriffs are not automatically deemed notable just for existing — but as usual for Billy Hathorn stuff, this is referenced to obituaries and primary sources and tangential verification of stray facts about his relatives, with not even close to enough notability-supporting media coverage about him to get him over WP:GNG.

He seems to have been considered to be of some local importance, as his house was preserved as a historical landmark. [1] [2] Rlendog (talk) 21:25, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The house being preserved as a landmark is not an automatic notability freebie that exempts the house's occupant from still having to actually clear GNG as a person. The house already has its own article anyway. Bearcat (talk) 17:17, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If the house has its own article (which I can't find), then this title should be redirected there rather than deleted. Rlendog (talk) 15:50, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It seems that the house only exists in the redirect for Campbell House and on National Register of Historic_Places listings in Concordia Parish, Louisiana; in 2016 it was taken off of the national register on account of it being burnt down so I can't imagine it becoming any more notable in future. Also, the website this article cites in reference to the house was extremely short and now only exists in archive. Userqio (talk) 05:25, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ole Miss? The article claims he played at LSU from 1893-1896, but here's a reference to a person with the same name (and middle initial) at Ole Miss in 1898. It could be the same person.--Paul McDonald (talk) 21:33, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete a look at the references shows regardless of college football or political notability, there's a WP:GNG failure regardless. SportingFlyer T·C 20:15, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NPOL. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 20:15, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
