David C. Woll Jr.

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Is a case of WP:BLP1E for his failed judicial nomination. I propose redirecting this article to Donald Trump judicial appointment controversies, which already lists the subject. Let&#39;srun (talk) 14:56, 2 August 2023 (UTC) Relisting comment: User:BD2412, has that possible Merge target article been created? Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read!

 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Law, New York,  and Washington, D.C.. Let&#39;srun (talk) 14:56, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I would prefer that we create a separate article collecting all unsuccessful judicial nominees, so that we can preserve mere information on their circumstances. BD2412  T 17:15, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I think renaming those judicial appointment controversies articles (which has been proposed at Talk:Joe Biden judicial appointment controversies) and perhaps considering a format change or merge of sorts makes the most sense. Let&#39;srun (talk) 17:26, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't think that a nomination that merely expired constitutes an appointment controversy, which generally arises where there is some objection to the appointment, or some procedural interference with an unobjectionable appointment. Perhaps a rescoping of those articles can accommodate this information, however. BD2412  T 17:28, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Reading the paragraph about Woll Jr. on that article though, it appears that there is more to the story than what is noted here. There was objection from the 2 New York senators. Let&#39;srun (talk) 17:31, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge to BD2412's proposed article. Independently of BLP1E, WP:GNG and WP:BASIC are not satisfied by the available sources, including those in the article as well as those I could find in my own searches. Actualcpscm (talk) 15:04, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * , I started to create a merge article, but then noticed that these subjects are already sufficiently covered in Donald Trump judicial appointment controversies, so I have been redirecting the titles to the appropriate sections of that article. BD2412  T 17:24, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
 * BD2412, then where would you suggest this be redirected to? Liz Read! Talk! 05:27, 10 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete and not merge for WP:BLP1E and failing WP:GNG. Woll's nomination failed due to what I read as routine political opposition, rather than a "controversy". So I'm not sure Woll would even qualify for redirect to the judicial nomination controversy article. Longhornsg (talk) 02:07, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Notability is not a criterion for inclusion in other articles, so BLP1E and GNG don‘t apply in this way; the subject doesn‘t need to fulfill notability guidelines to be included in a broader article. Actualcpscmscrutinize, talk 07:34, 15 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete no merge When such an article is created, if the creating editor wishes to also create a redirect from David C. Woll Jr., they should feel free to do so. Right now, delete is the appropriate action, due to failing WP:GNG. --Bejnar (talk) 18:11, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
