This article was nominated for deletion on 21 February 2013. The result of the discussion was Snow keep (withdrawn by nominator).

Contested deletion[edit]

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because it's a list that shows the most notable plaintiff's attorneys in the United States. It serves as a resource to people who have been injured and many of it's members are notable and have represented the people against serious harm. For example, the "big Tobacco" lawsuits. --Tallfromstpaul (talk) 17:01, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is a private members club with invitation only membership and no inherent notability. Clubs do not inherit notability from their members. The threshold for membership is not enormous. This is the self styled great and good inviting other self styled great and goo to declare themselves to be great and to be good. It lacks confirmation that it is, of itself, notable.

That's not an argument for CSD A7, that's an argument for AfD. If the article claims it's important, and it's believable that it might be, it needs a full discussion before it can be deleted. There is a very cursory mention in the Palm Beach Post here (admittedly that won't save an AfD), and a web search brings up a number of maybe reliable source coverage. I think we need to give this the full AfD. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 17:47, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Persuasive argument. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 18:14, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article can not be speedily deleted at all because it has survived an AfD ;-) Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 12:09, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
