Essentially a case of WP:BLP1E. Weinig was non-notable before being convicted of his crimes, then pardoned. Most of his coverage in the media is because he was pardoned during the closing days of the Clinton administration due to perceived political connections. I believe he fails WP:N/CA. Although there is coverage by a couple of very reliable sources, the coverage centers on the criminal history leading up to the pardon. All the coverage I viewed ends up back at the pardon, which is what leads me to my belief that this is a one event case. Niteshift36 (talk) 03:54, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP:BIO1E, therefore not notable. McMarcoP (talk) 08:19, 17 August 2009 (UTC) I take Hullaballoo Wolfowitz's point and stand corrected. I change my vote as merge to Clinton pardons as per his note. McMarcoP (talk) 13:50, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to Clinton pardons. Delete is not an appropriate option; under BLP1E, when applicable, otherwise notable subject should be merged into more general article. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 13:31, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd have no major objection to the merge, although even the article says "he is most famous for being pardoned....". Niteshift36 (talk) 03:02, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
