I want to nominate Frederick J. Haig for deletion.

My rationale: His only notability seems to be that he was a law clerks to the U.S. Supreme Court. As was noted in a previous deletion discussion, "it's not clear under present Wikipedia notability policy that SCOTUS clerks are notable."

Under Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes#Politicians, it lists the types of political figures who are notable. Law clerks to the Supreme Court do not appear to fit in the criteria. 2600:1700:7822:6190:98AD:B7CE:DD3C:B031 (talk) 19:09, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Frederick Haig is notable as the longest serving law clerk in U.S. Supreme Court history.Bjhillis (talk) 19:28, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that's a sufficient ground for notability; a lot of people have served in the same job longer than anyone else, and that alone doesn't make them notable. 2600:1700:7822:6190:98AD:B7CE:DD3C:B031 (talk) 19:48, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- I read the article and asked myself: Did he make a difference, one that should be remembered? Based on the article as written, no. Rhadow (talk) 23:59, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete being a law clerk is not a sign of default notability and no other claim to notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:34, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
