This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because Patrick A. Malone is one of the most significant plaintiff attorneys in the United States today. This is verified by his inner circle of advocates membership and past presidency. --Tallfromstpaul (talk) 19:17, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is not an unduly outstanding achievement to know someone who will invite one to join, and the threshold is not especially high. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 16:42, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
