There is certain aspect of notability of the person being in the legal system and possibly civil servant, but I couldn't find any credible mention in the web that the notability is strong enough to include the article. In addition, the creator looks like the person himself ( basing on the talk page), which adds conflict of interest and shows the article is clearly self-promotional Arthistorian1977 (talk) 05:46, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment: I added a first reference, to a 2010 article concerning the Court of the Lord Lyon, of which the subject is Procurator Fiscal, objecting to a small football club's badge. There was subsequent reporting of that case (STV, 2012) and recent similar cases (Daily Record March 2015. The Scotsman April 2015). However these later pieces report the body and role but without naming the person currently occupying that role, indicating that it is not of clear biographical notability in itself.

 * Keep. Judge in the Employment Tribunal and in the First Tier Immigration and Asylum Chamber. Procurator fiscal for the Court of the Lord Lyon. Satisfies GNG:    . COI is not a grounds for deletion. The article is not promotional. James500 (talk) 14:31, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep: There isn't notability guidance for lawyers, but I think it is fair to say the subject of this article meets WP:GNG. The creator of the article clearly did have a conflict of interest but there has been several contributions from other editors since. I agree with James500 that in this instance the COI would not be sufficient reason to delete the article. Drchriswilliams (talk) 22:42, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
