[edit] William C. Bollard

William C. Bollard (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article about a lawyer was written by a member of his family, from the username, Dbollard99 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log). It was re-created by that editor after having been deleted. The article itself makes no real claim of notability; this is the lawyer of a notable person, who appeared alongside them to discuss their case, but was not the subject of independent coverage in his own right, at least as far as the sources go.

  • Strong Keep. The article states the reasons for notability (attorney for high profile case w/lots of press coverage). In addition plenty of references. Callelinea 20:29, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Smerge to Duane Chapman. I'm having difficulty finding any evidence of notability for this guy outside of that case. Stifle (talk) 20:31, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. notability does not automatically transfer from clients to attorneys. If he starts getting written about as a "go-to celebrity lawyer" or some such, that's different. Right now he's just a mouthpiece for his customer.--Dhartung | Talk 03:15, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Non notable--the notability is not for the attorneys--this seems really an attempt to get another article for Duuane Chapman. Really notable roles in multiple cases, when there is documentation for the attorneys specifically being iscussed, would be what is needed. DGG (talk) 22:53, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
