Fails WP:JUDGE/WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. Besides basic local newspaper obits and death records other incredibly poor sources include a "People search and background check" and the authors personal assurances that he contacted the court offices who simply confirmed that Caldwell was at one time a county-level judge.

Delete. County/district court judges don't get an automatic free pass over WP:JUDGE just for existing — a judge has to have statewide jurisdiction to clear that bar, not just single-region jurisdiction within a regionally-divided statewide system — but the article is referenced nowhere close to well enough to get him over WP:GNG in lieu.

Delete Per WP:JUDGE; one of hundreds of obit articles created by a now banned user. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 20:09, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete district judges are not default notable without good sourcing. This makes me start to wonder if Denise Posse-Blanco Lindberg passes notability guidelines. She clearly has gotten more coverage than most judges at her level, but I am still not sure she uis notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:13, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
