De-Prod'ed with the statement "might meet wp:prof" but I'm not seeing that. The only part of WP:NPROF that might be met is criteria #7, but I don't see this as "substantial". It's more failing WP:BLP1E. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:51, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Move to draft. Not enough there, but give it the chance. Hyperbolick (talk) 17:07, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * , this article was created in 2008 about a guy who worked a case from 2004-2007. What would more time to work on this (beyond the seven day AfD course) accomplish? – Muboshgu (talk) 18:40, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Might give people a sense of urgency. Drafts not worked on drop out of existence on their own. Hyperbolick (talk) 18:49, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. This is Richard J. Wilson, a law professor specializing in human rights. There is definitely a common name problem in looking him up. A copy of his CV is online as well as a selection of his papers. He has been written about in terms of his work as a lawyer for Omar Khadr in Guantanamo, but I am not sure this is enough.

 * Delete the only source is a work he produced, this in no way shows notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:44, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. With a common name like this, it's difficult to identify what sources are referring to him in his particular field. I couldn't find anything that was definitively about him. The article is sourced to a primary reference, and with the absence of any significant coverage the assumption is that it doesn't exist. Fails WP:GNG unless better referencing is found.4meter4 (talk) 19:28, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
