  • Keep This is a stub, but it's enough to assert his notability through the sources. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 01:49, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. He's moved beyond Louisiana. He was inducted in the National Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 04:08, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep, I worked on this article when I found it in the backlog and sourced it. What little is there is what little I found apart from sources connected with the school and the Brother Melchior society. I removed the notability tag for hois role in bringing HS wrestling to Louisiana but unless someone is local and can get access to archives from his coaching time in the 40s-60s, I have doubts this will ever be more than a (sourced) stub.

  • Weak keep: The book about him is pretty decent testimonial, even though I suspect that it's a niche publication. This is about as close to the border as we should go, I think. Utgard Loki (talk) 15:45, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
