Lawyers of Distinction

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The references are all press-release style content promoting individual lawyers, and are trivial mentions of the organization. A more detailed description can be found in their own marketing; other coverage is extremely skeptical of the organization's credibility:  (I doubt those sources would let the group meet GNG even as a scam, and they're not reliable enough to call it a scam in Wikipedia's voice). power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 18:31, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom, although it did receive some opinion coverage for nominating a dog. Bakazaka (talk) 19:16, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete, though it was only created 2 days ago. My searching various repositories does not turn up significant coverage. This appears to be a sort of top-lawyers mutual recognition network, and it might be significant but not based on verifiable sources found to date.  Another issue with this is the term "lawyers of distinction"; this phrase has been used for more than a century to highlight lawyers thought to be of great repute, confounding search for the proper noun. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 00:28, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete -- this is not a notable guide. Notability for a guide is not inherited from its entries. This is barely more than spam. The directory itself is a pay-for-play deal. Bearian (talk) 19:54, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
