 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep He was named best lawyers in America for the past 5 years. Appeared on multiple reliable sources as per WP:GNG. 50.53.143.179 (talk) 10:10, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Given the amount of lawyers in America, a single lawyer winning the same award five times in a row IMO says more about the award than it does about the recipient. Which sources exactly did you think contribute to meeting GNG? signed,Rosguill talk 17:25, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete the very fact he won the award so many times makes it almost certainly not a sign of notability. Nothing else notable either.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:39, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep I got myself registered in response to the above comments. If awards doesn't counts as being notable then what else? Anyway, based on WP:GNG used as a tool here, Dmitry Gorin's notability on WP is demonstrated by (1) representing cases with celebrities in cases of Suge-Knight, Cathy Griffin, Sergey Kovalev, and other famous actors and athletes (cited in the article) (2) being the only criminal defense lawyer in Los Angeles featured in the cover-story in 2020 SuperLawyers magazing (cited in the article) (3) the Best U.S. Lawyers general criminal defense designation is given to fewer than 10 lawyers in Los Angeles (US Best Lawyers website) (4) The Los Angeles Times has referred to him as an expert in criminal defense over many years (news Dmitry Gorin - Google)  (5) Comparing his article to others published on WP, as criminal defense lawyers in California (ie attorneys Sara Azari, Lawrence Taylor, Mia Yamamoto), he has the same or more notability from published trusted sources. Numerous interviews about his cases on YouTube and other sources further demonstrate he has represented some of the most notable cases in the U.S. CarolynMP (talk) 08:16, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete The reasons presented by CarolynMP are not compelling and show a tenuous grasp of WP:GNG and is also very likely a double vote. Notability cannot be inherited. Getting coverage because you are representing someone famous does little, if anything, to demonstrate notability. WP:BEFORE turns up no coverage of the subject independent of established notable subjects. Sulfurboy (talk) 05:27, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and Sulfurboy. Passing mentions in articles about cases he's been involved in don't establish notability, nor do press releases from the subject's firm his winning a non-notable award. Girth Summit  (blether)  09:43, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
