Delete. Being a local district attorney is not a level of significance that gets an automatic "inherent" notability freebie under our inclusion standards for either politicians or lawyers — so to qualify for an article, the bar that he would have to clear is being particularly well-sourced as much, much more nationally significant than most other local district attorneys. But that's not what this is showing. Bearcat (talk) 15:05, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete most state district attorneys/county prosecutors (the term is different by state, and Massachusetts has counties with little direct identities) are not notable. The sourcing is not sufficiant to make Early an exception. USDAs are basically all notable, but these have jurisdication at the state level except in some larger states, so are in many ways like the federal equivalanet of state attorney generals, who are also all notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:20, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
