Notability is not established by local newspaper sources. The only thing he is partly notable for, that is being president of an association, has zero hits on Google News; a Google search of ""Texas Good Roads/Transportation Association" Oliver Thomas" brings up this article, a few obituaries, and other things that don't look to be related. Lastly, I believe that there are plagiarism problems with the article and its primary source, the obituary. —Ed (Talk • Contribs) 06:53, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
