Notability questionable. Created by {{user|GoodmanMediaPR}} whose only other contribution was to add [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Common_good&diff=prev&oldid=120063512 this paragraph] to Common good, plugging Philip Howard's organisation. – Steel 21:45, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Delete unless there are some sources. Perhaps relative to the WTC memorial lights? DGG 04:22, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Strongest keep. Howard's 1995 book, though I don't agree with much of its content, has been highly influential in U.S. debate on tort reform and related issues. The article could and should be much stronger but absent BLP concerns that is emphatically not a deletion criterion. I am not thrilled that the article in its current state appears to have been created by an agency, but frankly the fact that we lacked an article on this person for so long is equally embarrassing.
