Subject clearly fails WP:GNG, sourcing in article inadequate, WP:BEFORE shows nothing out there. Sent to draft and returned to mainspace, the only loss to Wikipedia in this deletion is saying goodbye to the timeless prose, "Lawrence Baca would get his first camera after he graduated from Harvard and would use that camera to take photos of landscapes all across the United States. One of the pictures he took were in the State of Utah, sites that had huge red figures or sites that had many holes." Alexandermcnabb (talk) 07:16, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

- Comment: It sounds like this person could be notable if we dig around and find some sources. Also lets try to be mindful that this article was written as part of the Student Program and give this fella some grace. Dr vulpes (💬 • 📝) 09:19, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: Went though and added much better sources, the subject of the article is one of the first Native American civil rights lawyers and appears to be notable. Dr vulpes (💬 • 📝) 10:43, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

- Keep seems to meet WP:GNG (with credit to Dr vulpes). -Kj cheetham (talk) 22:49, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:HEY and my own standards for notable lawyers. Specifically, "trying a notable case ... [and] being recognized as an expert in a specialized area of law." Bearian (talk) 19:06, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
