BD2412, you nominated for deletion four articles regarding judges (Juan Ramirez Jr.; Angel A. Cortiñas; David M. Gersten; Alan R. Schwartz), within the span of two minutes, with identical descriptions. Likewise, while you state in each that "state appellate judges are not inherently notable", you do not address why each individual judge is not notable; plenty of people are notable, even if not bestowed inherently by job title. With that in mind, and given that the AfD guidelines have a checklist of steps to carry out before nominating an article, what steps did you take to assess the notability of this particular judge before nominating the article for deletion? --Usernameunique (talk) 07:59, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Rather than copy-pasting one answer four times, I have answered with respect to all four at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alan R. Schwartz. BD2412 T 18:21, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete He did write/co-author some study guides for Florida law in the early 2000's, and I found one interview. In the JSTOR search I find very short mentions of his writing, but most of that writing itself doesn't turn up in my searches so it must be in less-accessible legal sources. I did find: Dynamic Trial & Appellate Advocacy DAVID M. GERSTEN Family Advocate, Vol. 31, No. 2 (Fall 2008), pp. 41-43 (3 pages) https://www.jstor.org/stable/25806797. That's about it.

Keep - as a totality, this judge passes my standards Bearian (talk) 18:41, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Bearian - I looked at your standards for attorneys and they are quite comprehensive. On these AFDs it would really help me if you could say which of the standards/points you see these folks as meeting. Thanks, Lamona (talk) 18:55, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

He served as a chief judge of an intermediate appellate court. Bearian (talk) 19:15, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
