Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/A. Marvin Quattlebaum Jr.
We typically have articles for all federal judicial nominees, and I don't see why this case should be any different. It may be jumping the gun a bit to create the pages prior to confirmation, but since the vast majority of federal judicial nominees go on to be confirmed, I don't see the harm in creating articles prior to confirmation. For an idea of scope, there are currently just http://www.uscourts.gov/judges-judgeships/judicial-vacancies/current-judicial-vacancies 31 pending federal judicial nominees, so we're not talking about very many articles. These nominees will either go on to be confirmed, in which case they are certainly notable under , or their nominations will fail, in which case the reason for failure/coverage surrounding the failure will almost certainly render them notable. In this particular case, I think there is enough coverage here to pass the general notability threshold, see http://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/2017/08/04/president-donald-trump-nominates-quattlebaum-coggins-federal-judges-district-south-carolina/539464001/ this and http://www.postandcourier.com/politics/president-donald-trump-nominates-two-federal-judges-for-south-carolina/article_1fd569c4-78a8-11e7-96b6-ffe0f3813e5b.html this, for example. Per those sources, he is a past president of the South Carolina Bar
