This unreferenced BLP is currently in CSD A7 territory, but claims of notability have been removed as being likely hoaxes. I don't know enough about US politics to make the call, but see the talk page for another editors investigations. I could find no significant coverage in independent reliable sources.

Comment The article states that he was a city councilman in the 1980s in Charlotte, North Carolina which is the largest city in that state and the 17th largest in the United States. If that's true, he may meet WP:POLITICIAN. I haven't yet been able to find reliable sources, but perhaps the Charlotte newspapers of the 1980s haven't been digitized in a form accessible to Google searches.

Delete Nothing is cited. The article previously also stated that he was a member of the NC state legislature and was Speaker of the House. This could not be true as other people were verifiably in those positions (see article talk page). I did not remove about the city council because I haven't found anything confirming nor denying this, however, per WP:BLP that means it should be taken off there anyway. I don't think the person really served and don't know that he really exists. I believe this is completely a hoax article. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 18:55, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
