Keep the rationale for deletion was insufficient and there was no meaningful discussion or investigation of the merits. The core rationale is that the judge's office did not confer automatic notability, however none of the necessary steps were taken to investigate whether evidence existed of actual notability -- the referenced WP:USCJN guidance states that holding such office (state appeals court) is strong evidence of notability, and guidance for article deletion states, "The fact that you haven't heard of something, or don't personally consider it worthy, are not criteria for deletion. You must look for, and demonstrate that you couldn't find, any independent sources of sufficient depth." Additionally, there have been six other AfDs with near identical rationale that have been resolved recently in favor of Keep or No consensus. I will gladly further develop this article to demonstrate notability, as any judge who sits on this court has likely been significantly notable within state jurisprudence, media, and politics. --Asdasdasdff (talk) 16:34, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, he passes WP:GNG, making the failure of WP:JUDGE irrelevant. Devonian Wombat (talk) 12:39, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, As stated, he passes WP:GNG. 10 years as a judge, will in most all cases create reliable independent sources. JackFromReedsburg (talk) 17:45, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
