Article about a "journalist, humorist and politician", not reliably sourced as passing our notability criteria for any of those occupations. This basically just documents that he existed, while providing no evidence that he ever accomplished anything that would make his existence noteworthy (it even completely fails to explain what he ever did to earn the "politician" label at all) -- and it is referenced entirely to primary sources (directories, the self-published websites of directly affiliated organizations, user-generated genealogy trees) that are not support for notability, with not even one reliable or independent source shown to establish that his work has ever been externally deemed significant by anybody he wasn't professionally or personally related to.
