Talk:List of law clerks of the Supreme Court of the United States (Seat 10)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

New detail added from Main Page; pic added[edit]

For the past couple of months I have updated the Main Page of "list of law clerks of the Supreme Court of the United States." Many more law clerks have been added to the list, and many corrections and edits made to clerk names (middle initials, full names), law schools, graduation dates and prior clerkships. I am now copying and pasting the new material onto each Seat page. To save time, I am bulk copying and pasting the new material. I first scan the Seat page to determine if there is any data there that is not on the Main Page. Also, added a pic of John Yoo, clerked for Clarence Thomas, to the top of the page. Finally, I removed the Wiki warnings at the top of the page for "needs citations" and "this page is incomplete."Bjhillis (talk) 15:32, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

notability problem?[edit]

I was a little surprised to happen upon this page after receiving a notice that an article I had posted (about a lawyer/politician who had lost his first and only run for statewide office) had now been linked to this page. While that blue link is of course now appropriate, the list of law clerks is fascinating, and I know many actually do end up doing important things, I noticed that almost every law clerk is red-linked, i.e. an article is suggested for this individual. For several years I have been adding wikipedia articles about historical figures, primarily Virginia politicians, and have been criticized several times by those who question their noteworthiness, although they do meet the wikipedia notability guidelines because they were in fact elected, and future historians may find their backgrounds useful. Thus, I'm raising the issue here. I'm not questioning the usefulness of the list article for clerkship applicants, but I really doubt that 95% of even supreme court law clerks (the vast majority of whom then choose to join very large law firms), deserve their own wikipedia articles, notwithstanding the publicity value thereof.Jweaver28 (talk) 23:53, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
