expired prod of a bio of a U.S. Federal Judge, weak on sources but may be notable - perhaps given his position inherently so? - procedural nomination, no opinion Carlossuarez46 23:21, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep I'm inclined to say federal judges are per se notable, but just in case, I've dug up some sources on cases besides the Microsoft case: Qualcomm v. Broadcom, Ritalin class action, civil claims against Iran. Wl219 00:04, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Per Wikipedia: Notability (people), "Politicians who have held international, national or statewide/provincewide office, and members and former members of a national, state or provincial legislatures." Federal judges are not elected positions, but are political appointments. He has sufficient secondary sources. --Moonriddengirl 00:38, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep because of the importance of the case. There are only 268 such positions, which makes them a very high-level office, and I think they would all have occasion to issue particularly newsworthy or encyclopedia worthy opinions. It will simplify matters to consider them all notable. DGG (talk) 01:01, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Would agree that federal judges are notable generally as their actions will be reported in reliable sources. This one in particular does has enough coverage in reliable sources. Davewild 18:09, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per above comments. I believe all U.S. federal judges are notable, and I certainly hope they are, as I've written a few dozen articles about various of them myself. This one should be improved in due course by our judicial bio editors. Newyorkbrad 00:45, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
