Samuel S. Freedman

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article seems to confuse two lawyers named Samuel S. Freedman — the lawyer who assisted Thurgood Marshall as depicted in Marshall and a person who lived between 1927 and 2012. With the first Freedman, I've only found articles detailing his role in the case depicted in Marshall. With the second, I've found only the obituary used as the source of the article. I don't believe either meet Wikipedia's standards for notability. Jedzz (talk) 21:29, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep-I expanded the article; Samuel Freedman's obituary mentioned that he served in the Connecticut General Assembly. The Connecticut General Assembly database also mentioned he served in the state legislature. State legislators are notable. Thank yoou-RFD (talk) 22:51, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Note There were two incorrect incoming links that I removed. Someone had confused the two lawyers (they were both based in Connecticut and had similar names), but this article itself has not mixed them. The other lawyer (Samuel Friedman with an "i") does not have an article and is probably not notable like the nominator said. -kyykaarme (talk) 11:22, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep our current guidelines is that everyone who ever served in the top level sub-national unit legislature in a federal Republic is default notable. Considering New Hampshire has over 400 members in its House of Representatives I am not sure this rule was developed while considering how many people it makes default notable, but it is the rule, and we should not change it to exclude an article on one person who served in the legislature in Connecticut.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:28, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
