Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William Elfving
OK, I have added information and references to the article to show that this judge is highly notable. His rulings have been reported in publications nationwide. I only scratched the surface with the links I added; he has more than 10 pages of links at http://www.google.com/#q=william+elfving&hl=en&tbs=ar:1&tbm=nws&prmd=imvnso&ei=6c--TqzwMcGusQLC_KmnBA&start=0&sa=N&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=3c3ccdbd0a2c5572&biw=1044&bih=678 Google news archive. The article as it existed was a stub, but that is not a reason for deletion; Wikipedia explicitly allows stubs, see . Please note that the subject has been notable all along, independent of whether or not the article demonstrated it. I'm not sure why nominator JoJ rejects the instructions at  (Before nominating for deletion, "If there are verifiability, notability or other sourcing concerns, take reasonable steps to search for reliable sources.") but they do apply
