 * Delete - he is lacking any notable accomplishments as an attorney, and none of the references are reliable. Was he a leading editor on a law review or journal? Has he served an a major bar association committee? Has he taught at an accredited college or law school?  Did he clerk for a notable judge?

 * Delete. Ref 3 is OK, but all the rest are primary sources. He's been quoted around the financial and trade press, but I don't think the coverage is independent enough or substantial enough for us to put together a neutral and well sourced biography. Someone might be able to dig up better coverage, so I'm open to persuasion. I don't like editors using private notability standards - looking for independent, reliable, secondary sources is the right approach.  Fences  &amp;  Windows  22:15, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
 * p.s. He meets one of Bearian's standards as he was editor-in-chief of the law journal of the University of Miami School of Law. Fences  &amp;  Windows  22:18, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
