Tagged for speedy as vanity, but I see a real assertion of notability in the list of honors and publications. No vote. --Dmcdevit·t 06:56, August 5, 2005 (UTC)

Strong keep Real prominence in specific field (Family Law) unlikely to be vanity per se (individual known to be not a web person!) and significant in academic circles stated. Honours and publications are notable.--Silver149 07:10, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. Notability asserted, per The Literate Engineer. Re: Copyvio: If there is a decent changing of the wording, I would say it's ok, but if it is an extremely close match, it is a copyvio. EvilPhoenix talk 07:38, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
