The article Todd Keeling has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
I'm unclear as to what criteria for WP:N might apply here. The patent for an invention is listed but as a primary source is insufficient. The other sources do mention the invention but are primarily covering the subject's tragic and apparently somewhat unusual death 9 WP:NOTNEWS) so do not convincingly establish the notability of the invention.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

May 2019 edit
Hello, I'm Doug Weller. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Lawfare (blog), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. There's actually no need to describe someone where we have an article, and we certainly shouldn't use a description different from the one in the biography Doug Weller talk 19:15, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

Please stop labelling him, people can read his articles. I note you haven't explained why you find it necessary to add that particular level. I think readers would see it as somehow devaluing him as a source, and that's really not acceptable. He's also a lawyer, I don't think that would be important to use either but certainly more relevant. Doug Weller talk 10:48, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
- Again, why do you find it necessary to add this article? What do you think it means to label him that way? Note that I have not sanctioned you as you suggested I have in your post to my talk page. 09:40, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
