Larry Milberg

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Seems to be unnotable, he should be mentioned in the Milberg Weiss article itself, and not be given a separate page as he seems not to satisfy inclusion standards. αѕєηιηє t/c 15:49, 26 March 2008 (UTC) 
 * Comment. Added Afd tag to Melvyn I. Weiss to this AfD. Equally short article, related.  - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 15:53, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * . Now properly added. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 02:55, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, — Travis  talk  00:10, 4 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment - Note that Melvyn Weiss redirects to Melvyn I. Weiss. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 00:52, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Milberg Weiss, since I can't seem to find a single mention of the guy except in passing and about it. Seems plenty notable enough in that context, but not on his own.  These three sources should help cite it better after merging.  --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 00:52, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Probably merge both to Milberg Weiss is best. The firm is notable, but that doesn't mean its principals are automatically individually notable. --Dhartung | Talk 01:16, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Milberg Weiss as 'lifebaka' above. ChessCreator (talk) 02:30, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Very Strong and Speedy Keep of Melvyn Weiss. He is one of the most notable trial attornys in the country. Gets a "few" ghits. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 02:48, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect Larry Milberg to Milberg Weiss. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 02:57, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is the problem with listing people by their nicknames – you miss the coverage under their full names by reliable sources. The New York Times refers to him as Lawrence Milberg. See http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=950DE7D91139F93BA35751C1A96F948260 for an obituary. --Eastmain (talk) 16:04, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and change to the right name, per Eastmain. An obit in the NYT has always been accepted as evidence of notability here, for they are very selective (I wouldnt extend that much beyond the NYT and the Times, but I think its an appropriate criterion. And aslo his partner. the key principals of a law firm like that are notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DGG (talk • contribs) 02:48, 5 April 2008
 * Keep and expand. Sufficient claim to notability. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:57, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
