Originally nominated a while back, this BLP article fails WP:BIO, as there are no available sources about the subject. Plenty about the Bawdy House lawsuits, but not about him. As a BLP, the standards need to be higher. Prior discussion had only one person give any input and was a non-admin closure. Thargor Orlando (talk) 15:11, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep Notable on two accounts. The co-chair for NYC Bd of Elections is notable in such large city, and ditto for the legal work. There should be abundant references for both of them, as I recall that they were significant political events.  DGG ( talk ) 04:35, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep There is considerable RS coverage of the subject's activities (under multiple permutations of his name: "Doug Kellner", "Douglas Kellner", "Douglas A. Kellner"). That should be sufficient to establish notability.  There are also a couple bios listed in the article, which while not 100% independent of the subject, are independent enough to use as sources to flesh it into a full-fledged biography. --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:55, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
