I'm not quite sure that this should exist - I can't find anything similar to this on enwiki. The lead sniffs quite strongly of promotion with phrases such as As an advocate of the First Amendment, Abrams' career has put him in a class of prominent legal scholars who have shaped American understanding of fundamental rights found in the United States Constitution. Much of the article is sourced to Abrams' own book. Some of the content may be useful elsewhere, but I can't imagine that a stand-alone page is. Hog Farm _Talk 14:44, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Would prefer if the article had inline sources. Seems extensive enough, to warrant more than a subsection in the article about the gentleman himself. Oaktree b (talk) 16:45, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. This type of info on Wiki is advertorial and not passable as a stand-alone article. Some of the content could be used, in a much shorter version, as a subsection in the subject's Wiki article. But if it remains as a stand-alone article, it could set a precedent for attorneys across the nation to have elaborate self-serving lists of their cases added as Wiki articles. It also fails WP:GNG because of the lack of inline reliable sources and does not meet WP:BASIC. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 19:33, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/delete – a list of some of the notable cases he has argued might be useful, so a selective merge of those details to Floyd Abrams might be warranted, but most of this information is from a primary source and therefore does not merit inclusion by our notability standards.

Redirect to Floyd Adams. If it is listed there, it does not need to be even close to comprehensive.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:02, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
