Stub unreferenced BLP - is being elected president of the Republican National Lawyers Association a good claim to notability? I would suggest not, regardless, he still certainly fails the GNG. Ajbpearce (talk) 00:40, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - this man was President of the Republican National Lawyers Association (2006-2008) and is a member of its Board of Governors, and George Bush appointed him US rep at the World Bank's International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID)- I found references at first time of searching. Whatever the savouriness or otherwise of his notability, is there really serious doubt as to its substance? Opbeith (talk) 14:00, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Please provide us with some of those references you found. Because I searched and found zilch. The achievements boasted of in the article - being president of an organization, being appointed to a commission - do not amount to notability. This has nothing to do with "savouriness or otherwise", and in fact there is nothing in the article to suggest he is anything but a model citizen. The problem is that he doesn't meet Wikipedia's notability criteria. --MelanieN (talk) 00:40, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
