Paul Callan (attorney)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Article on a US lawyer who is also, apparantly, a "a well known television legal commentator.". A challenge to the notability of the person has been made in another forum (AN/I), and to test the assertion, I've brought the article here for the community to decide.

I have edited the article and placed citations within it. These include high profile cases as well as television appearances. Jameskrouse —Preceding undated comment was added at 20:16, 29 January 2009 (UTC).

Added citations from courttv transcripts and from the Wall Street Journal which I believe are reliable sources.--Jameskrouse (talk) 21:01, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Further research shows that Callan has a broader presence that is indicated in the article as it is currently posted. He is quoted in a report on the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui for example linked here.  The article could be updated but is a completely different from the debate above.  Callan is a television personality, other of which are part of Wikipedia.--Jameskrouse (talk) 02:23, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
