List of people who have acted as their own attorney

Procedural nomination. Article was previously nominated in a group, but consensus was to break the group apart and list individually. See Articles for deletion/List of horror film killers (2nd nomination). Abstain. &#9679;DanMS • Talk 06:14, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Acting as one's own attorney in a notable case is itself noteworthy.  Alternatively, merge into pro se.  Someguy1221 09:03, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. The information here is well worth keeping, but perhaps should be directed to articles on the case, not the person. If the case wasn't prominent enough to merit its own article, does it really deserve to be listed? RandomCritic 01:26, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete vaguely named category. (I prepared my own will. According to the title, I should be included.) Doczilla 12:33, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. If you don't like the title, you could go and rename it.  The opening to the list makes the criteria quite clear.  151.152.101.44 22:47, 30 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. So long as well referenced, its an important legal concept, and this is an excellent navigational aid. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 23:29, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per keeps above, on the understanding it is for people who did so in trials only. Johnbod 01:15, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge into pro se, do not keep here. It apparently gives users the perception that the list itself is a notable legal concept when in fact this list should be unified with the concept, which is discussed elsewhere. As an added bonus, "pro se" specifically refers to these types of parties, as opposed to people who simply draft their own will. Cool Hand Luke 09:38, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
