Strong keep. Notable lawyer and often a spokesperson for Public Citizen. Referenced in numerous notable publications. The only reason his article is stub quality is that the sources have not been fully added at this point. Techdirt (notable) is a starting point. -TheWesternWorld (talk) 06:44, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Comment There doesn't seem many references for him, and he'd be more notable if he was the lawyer for bigger well-known cases. And if he is, add refs for them--Mjs1991 (talk) 06:49, 29 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete I would note that pretty much everything User:TheWesternWorld has created from scratch is in an AfD. Besides that, I've been through the article, it has one source (which is not enough), and the only attempt at showing notability fails WP:INHERIT. I can't currently check the single source in the article (damn web filters), but it doesn't look to me like a reliable source, in fact it looks to me like some kind of blog-site from a brief Google search. In fact, it seems like this guy may even be more of a news reporter/spokesman only - does not remotely seem like a lawyer's type of report. I can find nothing on Google that makes him seem notable - the fact that the top searches on him include a Facebook profile/page and a Twitter account speaks volumes.

 * Keep Needs a few more sources, but definitely a keep. -64.34.180.32 (talk) 13:28, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
 * And your grounds for this are? Lukeno94 (talk) 13:59, 29 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep per news sources here, here, here (plus several other news hits). Not an awful lot of notability there, but I think there's just about enough to tip him over the edge, and only the fact he's been around the block a few times and lawyered for several different places stops me from suggesting a redirect / merge. -- Ritchie333 (talk)  (cont)   14:55, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
