Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Patrick M. McCarthy
There is no source that focuses on the subject of this article.  Many quote him, but none are about him.  This does not satisfy notability guidelines nor .  I'm also concerned about the arguments being made to keep this article, many of which are specifically addressed in |Arguments to avoid.  This includes the argument that the article WP:crystal|may have more pertinent information to allow it to stand alone in the future, |repeated arguments that the nominator is new and doesn't understand Wikipedia, and the reasoning behind its notability is that the subject of the article is related to the Gitmo proceedings and is important because of that (when  | notability is not inherited).  We must focus on the content of the article as opposed to ignoring |the civility policy when discussing this and other articles
