Comment: I think there is a probability this person is notable. The "Encyclopedia of Arkansas" is a great start. Unfortunately the referencing style leaves much to be desired, and makes a reviewer's job much harder. I know other's have talked to you about this, and may I put in gentle word that it would be MUCH preferable if you were to spend a little more time on submissions, and make fewer of them. The Arkansas Historical Quarterly might help the topic meet GNG, but I have no idea of the article title, the page number, etc. Therefore I'm incredibly disinclined to try to look further or read the whole issue to try to find information. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 02:55, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Odell Pollard (April 29, 1927 - 2015) was a lawyer and politician in Arkansas. He switched from being a Democrat to becoming a member of the Republican Party.[1] In the 1960s, he chaired the Arkansas Republican Party.[2] In 1967 he addressed the Urban League of Little Rock.[3] He had a law firm in Searcy, Arkansas, for many years and worked to transform Arkansas from Democrat Party domination into two-party state.[4] He was a close ally of Winthrop Rockefeller.[citation needed]
He was born in Union Hill, Arkansas. He graduated from University of Arkansas School of Law in 1950.[4]
