Delete per WP:USCJN - [Magistrate judges] are.. "not inherently notable" and per consensus at WP:Articles for deletion/Margaret J. Schneider, failed judicial nominee, lacking sourcing to warrant standalone article Snickers2686 (talk) 22:08, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Bill Clinton judicial appointment controversies: Agree with the nom that this subject is not notable and does not meet either the WP:GNG or WP:JUDGE. Best to redirect to a list of failed Bill Clinton judicial appointees, where he already is listed. User:Let'srun 02:05, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I am reading the wrong article? I do see this guy was a magistrate and failed judicial nominee for another job, but he was also a Bankruptcy Judge and a law school dean among other things? Within a few minute I added sources for what seem like a number of claims for notability.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 20:28, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - He is acknowledged as, "the longest-serving dean of a law school in North Carolina". — Maile (talk) 20:08, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - There's just enough coverage alongside totality of circumstances (Dean, judicial appointment etc) to meet WP:N — MaxnaCarta ( 💬 • 📝 ) 01:18, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Coverage exists and roles as dean and judge meet notability. Rublamb (talk) 15:18, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
