Delete. Nothing stated here hands him an automatic inclusion freebie just for existing, but this is based entirely on
primary sources that do not count as valid support for notability. If he could be shown to pass
WP:GNG, then this would be a different matter — but nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to pass GNG on the sourcing.

Oppose' I find that nominees to the several circuit courts of appeals are always signficant, regardless of media coverage, because that such nominations tend to greatly reflect the policies of the President of the United States and of the United States Senate, considering that confirmation hearings are most usually conducted. Furthermore, proper coverage could possibly be found in the records of the United States Senate.

Strong keep. Former deputy attorney general of New Jersey and was the subject of a major tussle of the upper house of a national legislature.

There is no policy that says this makes him notable. No Deputy State AGs are notable (fails
WP:NPOL) – and what "major tussle"? All that happened was the GOP didn't want an impeached president to have a nomination go through.

Merge (selective) to
Bill Clinton judicial appointment controversies. While certainly interesting that this confirmation hearing was never held (as is the anecdote that
Maryanne Trump Barry was actually appointed) - this is a BLP1E situation with not that much coverage. The subject of this article does come close to having SIGCOV. It is also not much of a tussle - the Senate Judiciary Committee simply didn't schedule a hearing.

Delete this is a clear
WP:GNG fail as it's currently sourced and due to a lack of sources existing, which isn't really discussed by keep voters. Three of the six sources are primary. The other three are deadlinks, don't mention him, or are behind a paywall I can't access, but the article appears to lump in several judges based on the article title. A before search brings up nothing I can see that would pass
WP:GNG.

Keep His roles as a state official and a failed federal judicial nomination where his nomination was never considered, all of which is covered with sources in the article, with additional coverage in books (
see here), newspapers and magazines using the links provided here, all establish notability per
WP:GNG.

Delete- I don't see anything here that passes NPOL. State deputy AGs do not get auto-notability, neither do failed judicial nominees. Bill Clinton replacing this nominee with Trump's sister is just trivia.--
