Contested PROD. Original PROD nomination was, "Lawyer - clients may be famous - is he?" In reassessing the article after restoring it, I believe it still fails WP:BIO. Seems that this guy has some well-known clients, but he himself is less than notable. SchuminWeb (Talk) 19:39, 8 April 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Delete. I see a raft of incidental mentions of Sheahen in respect of the cases he has conducted. It isn't at all hard for a lawyer to get their name in the news this way; but cobbling together incidental coverage cannot make for a biography. What I'm not seeing is the kind of significant coverage in reliable sources that could form the basis of a proper biography. Thus, he fails WP:BIO. This view, however, is subject to whatever (proper) sources can be presented below; legal coverage can often be inaccessible to the public. --Mkativerata (talk) 01:40, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete Even if he has notable clients, he himself is not inheritably notable. Any coverage is about his clients, not about him. His clients may be notable, but he is not. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 07:55, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
