Lawrence H. Fisher

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Autobiographical article about a self-published author of questionable notability. References are not about the subject - he is only mentioned in passing for a quote. Book published through Tate Publishing, a known fee-to-print publisher. Google search for "Lawrence H. Fisher" "Memoir of a Milk Carton Kid" only shows the Wikipedia article. No significant coverage found. MikeWazowski (talk) 21:22, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
 * The book is scheduled to be published in September. An article from the associated press in this regard will be added as a reference.  All other references pertain to quotes from the author who was counsel of record in the high profile cases of interet.   Also, the author is reference on the Wikki page of the current Mayor of Pittsburgh, Luke Ravenstahl.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lawrence H.

 * Strong Delete Autobiography. No sign of sufficient notability as an attorney or an author.  Promotional tone. Safiel (talk) 00:04, 23 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Strong delete - I had actually speedy'd it but the COI creator removed the tag. Nothing notable on Google, Google News and Yahoo search, unsalvageable article. SwisterTwister   talk  01:49, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Strong Maintain Author and attorney more than qualified for a personal Wiki page. When you search author/attorney in conjunction with the names of his client's listed in his references -- i.e., "Pat Ford Lawrence Fisher" or "Tanya Kach Lawrence Fisher" -- numerous notable articles on Google, Google Images, Google News, Yahoo and others.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lawrence H.

 * Strong Maintain - Aurthor and attorney has added references to CNN transcripts where he was interviewed on Anderson Cooper 360. Also, author and attorney is not part of any so-called "fee-to-print" publication and the publisher disavows the same. www.tatepublishing.com  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lawrence H.

 * Delete - I have tried to locate significant reliable source coverage. What I have turned up are passing references in a few local papers about cases he is involved in.  A rather typical example is an article like this one:   where the extent of the coverage is a single quote about his case saying, "We haven't specified damages...We're going to leave that to a jury to decide."  That type of passing quote is not significant coverage, it is routine for any attorney on any case in a local newspaper.  For the record, even if a case he is involved in is a major case, notability is WP:NOTINHERITED.  He also fails WP:GNG.  ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 15:58, 23 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Maintain -- Page has been updated to include a case of precedential value. Furthermore, significant reliable source coverage contained in reference 8, the Associated Press article about the book, which meets Wiki guidelines listed above.  Additionally, references  1, 7, 8, and 9, when viwed in totality demonstates significant coverage of a major case that establishes this attorney/author as qualified for a personal Wiki page.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lawrence H.

 * Please stop adding multiple keep/maintain votes, Lawrence. We go by content, not numbers, and even though you don't sign your posts, we know it's you adding these additional comments. MikeWazowski (talk) 16:58, 23 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete I would have speedied this self-promotion  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  17:00, 23 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete Given the way that Wiki seems to have orchestrated a complete asault on this qualified professional Wiki page, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE delete this page. All of this nonsense is absurd.  Some ruse will result in the site being posted eventually.  It's apparent from this page that the Wiki police know no honest bounds.--Lawrence H. Fisher (talk) 03:23, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
