New article reviewed with blp-prod added for lack of source, which was removed by editor. After discussion around notability criteria, notes that only point of interest is member of Tennessee state legislature from 1968-1970. But extensive search can't locate any verifiable references regarding this. All news site srepeat the obituary. He was a county commissioner, which is elected.

  • Keep Passes WP:NPOL because he was a member of the Tennessee General Assembly. I have verified this - the source is: The Tennessean, Nashville, Saturday, May 23, 1970 - Page 9. I found this at Newspapers.com and can see a small excerpt. However, my basic membership does not allow me to read the entire article nor make a clipping of this newspaper. I can see that he is addressed as "State Rep. Paul Nolan". Even better, just found this [1] - there is historical information at the Tennessee government website.

  • Speedy Keep That's good enough for me to establish notability. I could not find that page. I spent ages looking for some evidence. Good work MB. scope_creep (talk) 12:04, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
