 * Comment: This article is only one day old! Shouldn't it be accorded some tolerance? —SlamDiego 03:38, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It's been around for a while, this version is new, but it's reposted (rewritten from new sources). Guy (Help!) 08:45, 30 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete, but please leave open for the full five days to see if Ed can find these sources. I can't. -Amarkov moo! 04:27, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Absolutely. No hurry at all. Guy (Help!) 08:45, 30 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment, I don't see a case for this individual meeting WP:BIO, but I'll give Ed a few days to make a case here.--Isotope23 13:46, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Update, I've added 2 more indep sources, I'll go check my databases for more.-- Ed  ¿Cómo estás? 13:51, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Additional sources are continually being added: please reconsider.-- Ed  ¿Cómo estás? 15:43, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment If these refs were in at the time, I'd not have nominated it. I would not object to a speedy close.  Ed's work is sound, although a lot of the sources are Greco says X rather than about Greco they do in aggregate establish the profile of the individual. Guy (Help!) 17:25, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Having been president of the major professional association is strong evidence of notability. In most professions, the term is limited to one year, so there's nothing off about that. There are quite enough sources. It should have been obvious from even the first stub that the subject was clearly notable and that sources would be available. Its verifiability, not verified.     22:31, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, looks good now. Stifle (talk) 20:52, 31 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Important Keep, ABA presidents only maintain office for one year, so the above is not unusual. Greco was the first American Bar Association President in history born outside of the United States.  A friend & professor at Yale Law School, Ron Sullivan, Jr., told me that Greco's work has been critical, particularly the commission on the Renaissance of Idealism in the Legal Profession, his Task Force on Domestic Surveillance, and the Task Force on Hurricane Katrina -- all are nationally recognized (can be Googled for further review).  The blue ribbon task force on presidential signing statements and Commission on Civic Education and the Separation of Powers to which he appointed supreme court justices O'Connor and Ginsberg, and Theodore Sorenson, are now discussed in law school curriculums, including at Yale.  Greco continues to tour internationally as a speaker on these and other issues and may be considering a run for office according to sources.

However more needs to be added to this article, this Wikipedia article is incomplete; Google readings of Greco's background and activities reveal much more to supplement this article.- Mitchell
