Charles Gittins

Fails WP:BIO. Numerous passing mentions: as an attorney, he is often mentioned or quoted about the cases: there are no sources about him though. Similar to a spokesperson: many hits, even in GNews, but nothing about the subject, everything about other subjects. Fram (talk) 09:21, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep – Just a quick review of his client list, which has been referenced, shows that Mr. Gittins qualifies under  Creative professionals.  Thanks ShoesssS Talk 19:46, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Are you reading the same guideline as I do? I don't see how he fits any of the criteria there. Fram (talk) 06:42, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Under Creative professionals a major  requirement  for inclusions is that; "...The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews."  Mr. Gittins has accomplished this through his representation of high profile individuals and situations as highlighted and documented in Georgetown Journal of Gender and the Law - ABA JOURNAL - Washington Post and Naval Law Review as shown in Google Scholar and provided here .  Thanks ShoesssS Talk 16:15, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * So which "significant or well-known work" has he co-created exactly? Fram (talk) 06:58, 14 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep -- Nomination asserts "passing mentions ... often mentioned or quoted ... no sources about him though" Page 89 of Above & Beyond: Former Marines Conquer The Civilian World contains a biography of Gittins.  That biography is about two pages long, which I suggest fulfills the "substantial coverage" criteria the nomination seems to be suggesting could never be fulfilled for this individual.

 * Keep. The aforementioned book is really weird. So much of the content for all the "biographies" are direct quotes and it reads like a collection of puff pieces. Still, the fact that he is one of those selected to be mentioned helps to satisfy WP:GNG. Location (talk) 23:40, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
