Since this article's creation, it's been a blatant violation of WP:NPOV; the entire article is oriented toward showing how horrible and illegal this man's actions are. It's too far gone: time to throw it away. Even if it had treated him neutrally, the article would be problematic: only two of the sources on the article mention him more than just in passing, and of those one is primary (a group of lawsuits that he filed), and the other gives him a short paragraph. He doesn't pass WP:POLITICIAN: the only American judges who pass it are those who have held statewide office, and because he sits on the 48th Circuit Court, it's obvious that 1/48 of Michigan is nowhere near to statewide. Please note that the article had three sources with substantial coverage when I first found it; I removed them because one was a blog and the others were non-blog sources that didn't appear to be any more reliable than the blog. Even if he gets anything close to devoted coverage, it's likely to be purely local, and we generally delete smalltown politicians who get coverage from local media and nowhere else.
