Harvey Thomas Strosberg

Nothing unusual about Strosberg, he's just a typical successful Canadian lawyer. None of the articles cited are about Strosberg himself. This article seems to be an ad for him. mikeman67 (talk) 21:43, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn by nominator - based on the comments by the editors below, and additional sources that were highlighted, I'm withdrawing the nomination. I think the page badly needs a cleanup still. Part of my reasoning was that the page creator has a history of creating advert-like pages for Canadian lawyers, but on further review I think Strosberg meets the notability guidelines. I see someone removed the WP:Peacock tag, which I think was premature, since there's still lines like this on the page, without citation: "Strosberg has been partners with some of the most accomplished lawyers in Canada" and "Strosberg's work as a civil litigator has been widely recognized in the form of honorary degrees and medals." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikeman67 (talk • contribs) 20:01, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep The National Post has described him as "one of the best known civil litigators in Canada" and there is clearly enough RS coverage of him to meet WP:BIO. This includes, but is not limited to, the following sources:     Everymorning   talk  21:56, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Good sources, definitely notable. —Мандичка YO 😜 22:07, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep: Easily meets WP:BASIC. Two more sources that mention this lawyer: . Notability is not based on how special the subject is: it is based on coverage from reliable sources independent of the subject. Esquivalience t 23:07, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep – Upon a source review, the subject passes WP:BASIC. N ORTH A MERICA 1000 13:29, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
