State court trial judge in Missouri. I don't think that's enough for notability per WP:BIO. NawlinWiki (talk) 11:36, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Trial judges should definitely not be presumed notable. Some might attract significant coverage in reliable sources. But not, it appears, this guy. As you'd expect, the only coverage that mentions his name mentions his name as part of the cases he hears [1]. He's not the actual subject of the coverage, so there's nothing on which a reliable article could be written. --Mkativerata (talk) 18:22, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
delete On the state level, we accept as presumptively notable members of the state's highest court, which for Missouri is the Supreme Court of Missouri, Very few members of any state intermediate appellate court have articles; the Missouri Court of Appeals, has 32 members-- none with articles, I am inclined to think personally we might do well to extend presumptive notability to this level but I am not sure the community is very likely to accept it at present. There are 141 circuit court judge in Missouri. I am very inclusionist on local officials, but I am not prepared to advocate we ought to extent presumptive notability to this level. There is always the exception of when one can shown notability for the specific individual by non-routine significant published coverageThe article presently does not indicate any.

Delete. Lower-level jurist who has not achieved notability through other means. The original author created this article in a futile attempt to balance out another (promotional) article about Bryson's opponent in an upcoming election. Insufficient coverage from reliable sources to establish notability. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 00:00, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
