An AFD in May was closed with no consensus (but with leave to speedy renominate) because there were no !votes other than the nominator and the article's creator, but notability has still not been established. There are a lot of references listed, but I checked them all out, and they just don't amount to anything like significant coverage in reliable independent sources. Most of them other than his law firm just mention Buckley's name in a list. Delete. Cheers, Dawn Bard (talk) 14:07, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no substantial sources have been added since the first nomination, and the subject still appears to fail WP:BIO. VQuakr (talk) 21:22, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Do Not Delete I disagree with the nomination to delete this entry. Brent M. Buckley meets the notability criteria to have a Wikipedia entry. He is one of the most prominent lawyers in the state of Ohio. As proof of this, he was named one of the Top 50 Lawyers in Cleveland and one of the Top 100 Lawyers in Ohio in December 2011, which establishes his prominence in the law community. I have added citations of this to his entry. Additionally, he was recently elected to the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association Board of Trustees for 2011/2012, which I have also added to the entry. He is on committees and boards for at least 8 major Cleveland institutions, further establishing his pubic prominence. There are citations in his entry that verify this. He is also part of a band that has played at well known establishments such as the House of Blues, Jacobs (Progressive) Field, the Cleveland Masonic Temple, Cleveland Public Auditorium and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. For these reasons, I believe his entry deserves to remain on Wikipedia. Sincerely, Clevelandwriter13 (talk) 19:23, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete as non-notable, failing WP:ANYBIO. --Ifnord (talk) 03:35, 18 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - person seems to be successful, yet not particularly notable. --Thetrick (talk) 04:56, 18 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This lawyer is notable - he is a Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association Board Trustee. Does Wikipedia have guidelines about notability of lawyers? - if so I certainly hope Board Trustees of bar associations are automatically nobable. Ottawahitech (talk) 01:32, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. Most lawyers that are on the board of their bar associations will not be notable. VQuakr (talk) 04:49, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per nom. The long list of references is misleading; they don't establish any notability. Other issues are WP:RESUME and WP:VANITY. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 13:38, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
