Notability

[edit]

I have added the notability template to this article as I am not convinced the subject meets the criteria for WP:Notability (people).

As far as I can tell, Porter has no professional achievements in his career as an attorney that would confer notability in their own right. It all stems from "he was NRA President for two years", which also does not confer notability unless he did or achieved some significant project or reform during office (several other NRA Presidents do not have articles either).

There are only 6 references, one is a business directory listing (useful background but doesn't confer notability), another is an internal/non-independent podcast. Two do refer to him directly in the context of "new NRA President". The Buzzfeed article makes very passing reference in the context of Butina, but does not discuss Porter in any way. A search of google news turns up very little.

My personal view is this article should probably be nominated for deletion unless some notable achievements/coverage (specific to Porter, not merely a passing reference from the Butina scandal) exist. Hemmers (talk) 09:58, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
