- Delete If we could find significant coverage of Wallace's actions as gaining national notice at the time, that would be enough. However even well researched obituaries are rarely enough on their own.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:51, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
- Delete. Being a mayor of a small town is not a substantive claim of notability per WP:POLITICIAN, this article makes no strong claim that he's in any meaningful way more notable than the norm for that role, and while an obituary would be valid for verification of some biographical details after notability had been covered off by better sourcing, it's not good enough to be an article's only source.
