[edit] Howard Sutherland (attorney)

Howard Sutherland (attorney) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Queried speedy-delete. See Talk:Howard Sutherland (attorney)#hang on. Anthony Appleyard 14:04, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete: best known as columnist on a website, but nothing indicates that he is known outside a circle of likeminded websites. No newsreports, at first glance no independent reliable sources about him... Fails WP:BIO. Fram 14:35, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Only claim to notability is writing for a conservative political commentary Web site. While the site itself appears notable, there's no indication that Sutherland himself even marginally passes WP:BIO. Caknuck 15:21, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. I couldn't find anything approaching enough useful material from reliable sources to write a decent bio. William Pietri 02:04, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. VDARE is an important, and massively controversial, anti-immigration center and Sutherland has written some of the more important articles on that site. I've found several references to his articles as seminal and several of his pieces are very frequently referenced beyond VDARE in the anti-immigration community. I can't recall the details of why/when I created the article (it was a while ago and I don't know or follow the anti-immigration community very close) but I am reasonably sure it was because I followed a reference and recommendation by Michelle Malkin. mako (talk•contribs) 15:30, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Mako, can you possible find some of those references to his articles? Depending on where they were that might demonstrate N.Otherwise merge with the article on VDARE. DGG 04:21, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes. Sorry I've been busy over the last couple days. I'm going to take a look into this. mako (talk•contribs) 18:48, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
