Deletion of Edward Mermelstein (2nd nomination)

Comment: First, let me clarify that I am familiar with the article creator's history of puppetry, and that they were clearly trying to use wikipedia to promote some entities and disparage others.  That being said, I don't see how we can possibly argue that, having met  (for me, the ''Bloomberg'' article plus the ''Commercial Observer'' slide meet that requirement, with the rest being less "in depth" but in total being enough), the subject isn't notable in a Wikipedia sense.  If the subject were completely run-of-the-mill, they wouldn't be discussed in detail in ''Bloomberg'' or asked their opinion in ''New York magazine''. This isn't a Who's Who listing, it's a biographical description of a New York lawyer who appears to be more notable than the typical New York lawyer.  And this is certainly not a genealogical entry--significant descriptions of multiple aspects of his life are included, not just simple familial records. So, even though I would not be surprised if this article was created as part of a more general PR campaign on behalf of the subject, that doesn't automatically render the subject non-notable

Comment: While a lot of the references are press statements and passing mentions, I think there is no question this person passes . None of the independent sources are actually about him, but they do go into sufficient detail. On the other hand I do not believe there is any doubt Mermelstein passes any other notability guideline. So I believe this case is about the word ''presumed'' in the GN guideline. The subject is completely |run-of-the-mill, as the initiator of this discussion eloquently points out. In a way this article could be A7-ed because it does not even attempt to point out any specific fact that makes Mermelstein special. As the ''presumed'' in GNG can only be rebutted by , I think the policy reasons to delete this are YELLOW, point 2, and WHOSWHO, point 4
