Non-notable judge. Fails WP:GNG. Sources include: A deadlink to a site from the Louisiana Department of State, a brief mention in a museum's website, her father's obituary, a deadlink to what I am assuming was a list of members of the Louisiana House of Representatives, and the same source used twice, which is merely election results.

Delete when an articles spends more time on other family members offices than the individual in question they are not notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:24, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep I think there could be a case for arguing that Louisiana Circuit Courts of Appeal judges meet WP:JUDGE as "judges who have held ... sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office" - although they are elected to one of five circuits, they do sit in other circuits when needed [1]. Apart from that, there is significant coverage of this judge in The Times (Shreveport, Louisiana) (eg [2], [3], [4]) and Town Talk (Alexandria, Louisiana) (eg [5], [6], and one of her cases was reported in Mississippi [7]. The quality of the article or the existing sources is not a reason to delete it. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:54, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
