Comment. A search for reliable sources yields a blip of notoriety from the subject's actions Hurricane Katrina. A local folk hero, but still a BLP1E. • Gene93k (talk) 03:23, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - this is a one-sentence article that does not supply much information. If it is not deleted, it could be merged with the article on Forrest County. Vorbee (talk) 09:12, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. County sheriff is not an office that confers an automatic inclusion freebie just because a person exists, but this isn't referenced to anything like the depth of reliable source coverage needed to get him over WP:NPOL #2. Bearcat (talk) 18:16, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete county sherrif is not an office that gives default notability. A few have become notable for their actions or political outspokeness in this position, Arapio and David Clarke come to mind. However David Clarke is if anything most notable as one of the highest ranking people who held office as a Democrat to support Donald J. Trump for president. Both have had way more coverage in the media, were the sherrif of the most populated counties in their state, and way more people than McGee's county had.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:52, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
