Subject of article appears to lack notability, as the subject is primarily known for filing a lawsuit in the wake of the 2016 shooting of Dallas police officers. In addition, the article's creator claimed to represent the subject of the article. Given that the article is mostly about the subject's lawsuits, there may be WP:COI concerns.

 * Delete - Someone filed a lawsuit which courts promptly dismissed. Not encyclopedia material. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 21:44, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. A few news stories about lawsuits (dismissed quickly or otherwise) do not impart notability on a plaintiff, no matter how notable the defendants may be. The obvious conflict of interest issues only strengthen my position. -- Kinu  t/c 23:51, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The article's creator clarified, "When I said 'represent,' I think a better way to put it is 'doing in behalf of,' as an advocate. It wasn't meant in some legal sense or that I represent him in any capacity at all. He's an associate of mine." WP:COISELF ("You should not create or edit articles about yourself, your family, friends, or foes.") would appear to still apply.  --Weazie (talk) 02:03, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
