 * This article was proposed for deletion, and a sockpuppet of Orangemoody provided some sub-par sources and removed the PROD tag. Let's please have a proper deletion review. Slashme (talk) 23:15, 2 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete. Non significant lawyer. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 23:53, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. Partner in a well-known law firm, and past chair of one of the largest sections of the ABA.  Passes my standards for lawyers. Bearian (talk) 01:39, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Do we have specific policies for lawyers? I ask because based on GNG this person does not fair well. None of the references are both third-party and more than a mention; many are solely local. Unless there is a policy that puts "major firm" and "chair of section" forward, I have to say delete. LaMona (talk) 01:54, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Ah, I found Notability_(law), and it's beyond vague. I also looked at Bearean's list of lawyerly notability although I have no idea where that stands. The chasm between the two is incredibly wide. I'll stick with my !vote for the time being. LaMona (talk) 21:50, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete for now and WP:TNT as my searches found results at News and Books but this may need a better start. SwisterTwister   talk  22:44, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
