Seems to fail WP:GNG. The best hope for notability appears to be some sort of syndication around local newspapers but I'm not seeing that as significant, nor any other useful sources. This is one of many articles created/maintained by a small group of people with an intense interest in Shreveport-related matters and, I'm afraid, the list of those articles is getting shorter as the non-notables hit AfD.

• Delete Subject fails WP:NAUTHOR and WP:GNG. This is another {{u|Billy Hathorn}} effort, so odds are it should have never been written. Chris Troutman (talk) 00:57, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

• Delete I don't even see a valid claim of notability in the article. Being syndicated isn't enough on its own to confer notability. caknuck _° needs to be running more often 09:59, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

The subject is a senior staff writer, editor, or columnist (sports, arts and entertainment, etc.) at a major news source including:

1. A notable internet magazine (webzine) (See: WP:WEB)

2. A notable regional, national, or international newspaper or magazine (such as The Detroit Free Press, The New York Times, or Time)

Subject is a main personality on a notable regional, national, or international news telecast or radio show (such as CNN, BBC, or NPR)

3. The subject is the writer of a nationally syndicated column (such as Dear Abby)

:Wikipedia:Notability (journalists) (which you're quoting) is a failed proposal from ten years ago. It doesn't represent consensus. Chris Troutman (talk) 22:34, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

::Geolocate suggests that the anon may well be Hathorn evading his ban. Similarly located anons have popped up at other recent AfDs involving Hathorn creations and he is known to have used an extensive range of IPs. -
