Keep. While he fails WP:Politician, he does "Meet the primary notability criterion of 'significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article.'" There are
several stories in the New York Times about him. --

Keep. I agree with Holdek -- Clements is not a notable politician but there are multiple independent sources about him.

Keep - he was a major defendant in a major scandal in American history.

Comment - Would that be a case of
WP:ONEEVENT? The event might be important, but I'm not sure if he is notable enough himself that allows his own article. — Preceding

It's a reasonable question, but I think the existence of an NYT obit, albeit a fairly short one (four paragraphs), that covers other aspects of his life than the single event just about makes him notable enough for an article. Based on the sources we have now, if there were a separate article on the scandal I think his article could be merged with it, but as it stands I think the article is best left to grow until that happens.
