Deletion of William Cotton IV

Comment: I can't see anything in either of these articles that's as ''transparently'' bullcrap as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James Snipplet, the ultimate political wikihoax of all time just for the sheer length of time it flew under the radar before its painfully obvious hoaxery actually got caught out, but that's ''precisely'' why  requires proper |verification in |reliable sources before the presumption of notability for a legislator is ''actually'' locked in. If the articles aren't properly verified by legitimate sources, and don't seem to verify anywhere else either, then they aren't handed an inclusion freebie just because of what the article ''claims''. If somebody can ''actually'' show some valid sourcing that we're missing which verifies that either of these people really existed as state legislators, then no prejudice against recreation at that time — but NPOL does ''not'' hand them an inclusion freebie just because of offices they're ''claimed'' to have held, in the ''absence'' of any sources which properly ''verify'' the truth of the claim.I also see that nobody had nominated the photos for deletion on Commons yet, even though they're both renamed and reuploaded copies of images that we already have of other people, so I just wanted to note that I've taken care of that :commons:Commons:Deletion_requests/File:William_C_Cotton_IV_portrait.jpg|here for "Cotton" (really Lamar Jeffers) and :Commons:Commons:Deletion requests/File:George S. McHugh portrait.jpg|here for "McHugh" (really William J. Driver
