Fails WP:GNG - wholly unremarkable personal injury lawyer, the usual coverage of cases he has been involved in, no independent in-depth coverage. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 07:27, 28 June 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 08:31, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep I accessed The Wikipedia Library and did a meta search in the "search the library" box at the top of the page. I searched "Franklin D. Azar" (with the quotes) and got 146 results. Note that, unlike a Google search, this is a search of curated, proprietary databases. Yes, some of the hits were from PR newswire, but since they are included in The Wikipedia Library I think they should carry some favorable weight indicating notability. Moreover, the results did include some peer-reviewed articles. Leaving off the quotation marks in the search retrieves over 17,000 results. Searching "frank azar" (with the quotes) brings up 83 results. The articles retrieved span a period of twenty years and include reporting in major newspapers. After no-fault insurance law was aboloshed, Azar became an early pioneer in torts-based accident compensation. This and other significant coverage establishes sufficient notabliity for a Wikipedia article, as indicated by The Wikipedia Library. Jeffrey Beall (talk) 14:01, 28 June 2022 (UTC).
 * Keep I'm new on Wikipedia, but just wanted to chime in: I'm in Colorado and Frank Azar is well known here. I added some information about his involvement in a famous Anna Nicole Smith case, and about the road they named for him. Does that help show his notoriety?

 * Delete No obvious notability in sourcing. Is Coloradans know his name, but that's a matter of local interest to those in need of a personal injury lawyer. Unless sourcing appears that suggests he's notable outside of his own PR, I can't see reason to keep. ~ Pbritti (talk) 20:52, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete as written. Nothing here shows encyclopedic notability. BD2412  T 05:05, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete While there is some local coverage, they mostly focus on a specific case and not Azar himself. The vast majority of refs are not reliable or notability lending. Best, GPL93 (talk) 13:23, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
