Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/C. Rufus Pennington III

well, this is pretty funny. i am c. rufus pennington, iii, and i am used to harsh comments in court, but you guys are really tough. i know next to nothing about wikipedia and its standards, and in all honesty, I would be happy - and in fact would prefer - for you to delete this entry. fyi, i have been to guantanamo. "hundreds of lawyers" have not. it is not pretty, and it is one feature of one of the most important legal disputes of our generation. but i am not one of the lead lawyers, for sure, i have done my work as a part-time volunteer for one particular client. also, just to set it straight, because being dissed by a blogger (of any elevated sort) doesn't feel too good, i have briefed a couple of pretty important cases before the USSCT and i have represented some "famous people" including a former chief justice of our fairly famous florida supreme court, among others, in some fairly famous cases. so, perhaps not quite as shabby as you guys make it sound, but please, by all means, delete this entry... rp -- '' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.63.147.73 (talk • contribs)  19:34, 2008 June 27


 * If you have been interviewed about these cases, or profiled, or otherwise covered in some reliable third-party source (some Florida law journal or newspaper or local tv news, etc), then that would go a long ways towards saving the entry - please add the references to the Articles for deletion discussion. The deletion is nothing personal, of course. I'm afraid that there is something of a constant tension on Wikipedia between those who believe that only notable subjects should be covered, and those who believe that anything verifiable should stay. I tend towards the notable myself, but there are certainly other viewpoints. Brianyoumans (talk) 03:13, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
