Deleted judge pages

Hi Northern Moonlight, I'm just curious, for the judge pages that were deleted last month, I didn't follow these comments:

• "Note that WP:JUDGE is a necessary but not sufficient criteria for notability."
• "Hmm. Per WP:JUDGE, holding office is only a secondary criterion. People who satisfy this criterion will almost always satisfy the primary criterion,"

Could you walk me through these points, please? I want to be sure I understand how the notability requirements work. Thanks! Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 00:40, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello!

I retract my second statement. That isn’t quite correct.

The judge articles obviously fail the basic criteria of WP:BIO (presumed notable) and only meet additional criteria (likely notable), which does not guarantee that a subject should be included. Per WP:BIOSPECIAL, if it fails basic but meets the additional criteria, it should be merged to a broader article. So if you want to recreate those articles as REDIRECT to a list of judges, that’s fine by me. NM 03:34, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
