Bio of a lawyer, created by a WP:SPA, likely an undisclosed WP:PAID/WP:COI. Crucially, seems to fail WP:NBIO. I don't see a single in-depth coverage (a numnber mention in passing, as he is briefly quoted in a number of news stories as a lawyer involved in some cases that attracted media attention). There is effectively nothing to be said about him outside which cases he represented, the bio for him is unreferenced (through I would expect it could be referenced to PRIMARY SPS sources like his company's page). No awards or indications he is notable - just a lawyer doing his job. Thoughts? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 05:32, 15 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment: Really just wanted to say that it's hilarious the photo he saw fit to upload of himself shows him posing in front of a bar cart. That said, the most substantial article I found on him is this one, and it doesn't feel like much. The one thing that would potentially give me pause is the number of mentions of him in relation to the high-profile Anna Sorokin case (e.g., 1, 2), but even then, they're peripheral mentions. --Usernameunique (talk) 06:27, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
 * He can certainly be mentioned in her article, but a redirect there wouldn't be a good idea per WP:R. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 02:42, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete When your claimed #1 actress client is not notable enough to rate an article, I think you are even less likely to rate an article. The start is clearly overly promotional on the board of just plain lying to make Spodek look more notable than he really is.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:00, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
