• delete. It's who you know... humblefool® 01:23, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I'm not totally sure where we set the bar of notability on lawyers, but I found a [bio] stating that he's represented some pretty high-profile clients (Stallone, Michael Jackson, Sigourney Weaver...) and has his own law firm. Seems notable enough for an article to me. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:34, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment Having one's own law firm is not a notable accomplishment. Thousands upon thousands of lawyers have their own law firms. David Hoag 06:06, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Starblind. Kappa 01:51, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep also, although the above clients should be mentioned in the article. Agentsoo 02:11, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep notable with famous clients. Jobe6 04:39, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand to assert significance. - Thatdog 04:53, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Partial client list has been added (i.e. those with valid Wikilinks). --Alan Au 05:41, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep in light of recent edits. Fernando Rizo T/C 09:27, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

• Borderline, but leaning delete at present: "Attendant fame" is one of the things we don't measure (being the kid or ex-lover of a celebrity doesn't make you a celebrity). If the fellow is so substantial, and I'm sure he is, he must have actually argued some significant cases or won some substantial claims. These would make him worthy of a biographical stub, IMO. Not to be trivial, but the valet to the stars probably exists, too. Geogre 15:49, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
  • There's a partial list at http://www.schleimerlaw.com/trial.htm . Granted, none of them are world-changing trials like OJ or Lindbergh, but several of them made the news, and at least 2 of them are famous enough that I've heard of them despite not following law or celebrities closely (specifically, the ZZ Top one and the John Landis one where someone was killed in a helecopter shooting the Twilight Zone movie).

• Keep Hes the kind of lawyer other lawyers want to be. Truely a shark amongst the little fishies. Hamster Sandwich 20:06, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Starblind. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 21:01, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. There seems to be less here than meets the eye -- the "client list" is not terribly accurate, since it includes clients of his previous employer on whose cases he worked in unidentified capacities -- and few of the listed cases on his firm's website appear noteworthy. There are, no doubt, quite a few real estate agents in California with even more impressive client lists, but no one, I think, would advocate their listing here.Judge Magney 13:40, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, doesn't seem to have had an impact on US law. Klonimus 23:43, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
