Delete

This person is irrelevant, there are only a few sentences about him and thus should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.251.8.230 (talk) 14:43, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. If no other editors can offer a legitimate explanation for Mr. Crump's notoriety outside immediate events, I will be deleting the article.

Actually there is plenty of material in the history that support notability. see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Benjamin_Crump&oldid=549502991 Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:02, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I emphatically second @Graeme Bartlett's point, as it is objectively true and corroborated by a mountain of relevant, current, and incontrovertible facts and supporting evidence. I'll add that an more relevance in light of the historical events pertaining to civil rights, police brutality, racism, and the fight for justice. The events that have unfolded in recent years (i.e., subsequent to this 2013 talk page topic), and the fact that Ben Crump has been directly involved as legal counsel in multiple legal cases that have garnered significant national and international attention, mean that the subject of this article is not only notable and relevant, but he will also be remembered in history. This article should therefore never be deleted. L'être et le néant (talk) 00:41, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Alesia Thomas

A new article could probably be created for the death of Alesia Thomas. There's a little too much info about it in this article, although there's plenty of reliable sources about it and surely will be more once the trial begins. Fnordware (talk) 19:54, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Derek Chauvin

I wikilinked Derek Chauvin because I think he measures up to GNG. Geo Swan (talk) 13:35, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What's his record?

Most (all?) cases here just involve him agreeing to represent someone, and then it ends. It would be good to know how those turned out for him. I get that justice moves slowly and sometimes lawyers drop off, but some of these must have resolved somehow by now, I'd think. Just a thought, in case someone wants to do the research and updating. I can't paste, or I'd help. InedibleHulk (talk) 21:54, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jumping in here 4 years late lol -- just looking at all the names, I believe most of the time they settle as they are often suing large police forces/governments vs. one individual. Squiddyonwiki (talk) 01:52, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
