The "Supreme Advocate of the Knights of Columbus" fails WP:GNG. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:16, 11 January 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  MBisanz  talk 01:15, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't think I know enough about the Knights of Columbus for the relevant context here, or what it means for somebody to be the "Supreme Advocate". Can anyone who's more familiar confirm whether or not Paul R. Devin might be notable under WP:NACADEMIC or WP:JUDGE? I don't think he meets WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO, but we should check the other two as well before coming to a consensus. Theknightwho (talk) 21:04, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom.  Mini  apolis  23:26, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete: The KoC is a fraternal order, just like the Elks or the Moose clubs. "Supreme Advocate" is just the sort of pompous title members give to one another, right along with "Thrice Exalted Worshipful Master" or "Grand High Kleagle."  Neither NACADEMIC nor JUDGE are any more in play than they would be for the leaders of the local Boy Scout troop.  The article stands and falls on the GNG, and the subject does not meet it.

 * Delete as per His Excellency, the Most Eloquent High Wikipedial Deleter-and-Keeper of the Articles, ; if Devin has done something notable apart from belong to the order, someone can make a new article when they find the sources. Elemimele (talk) 13:43, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete (and thanks for the laugh ). Unable to identify any sourcing to establish notability, and as discussed above this is not an independently significant role. Star   Mississippi  16:19, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete -- Knights of Columbus appears to be a Catholic Friendly Society, offering insurance to members (with $100M assets). Th chief executive (or perhaps chairman) has the title of supreme knight and has an article that does not say much about him, but he may be notable.  The supreme advocate (whom we are discussing here) is probably the chief legal officer.  I doubt that is enough to make him WP-notable, and there is nothing else there potentially notable.

 * Delete - in light of the above, not notable at all. Theknightwho (talk) 14:18, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
