regardless of any possible notability , this is essentially an advertisement for Lawton and his crime prevention business . I know it's odd to say an article highlighting the subject's multiple convictions as a thief is promotional, but in this case it is, because those are his credentials.

- Keep - Multiple in-depth sources across multiple decades; notable as one of the most notorious jewel thiefs in US history and as a prison reformer. Could use some trimming in the career section if seen as too much though. Jeremy112233 ( Lettuce- jibber-jabber ?) 15:33, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

- Keep Article is PROMO; it is tagged and editors are free to edit it for tone, and to let out some of the hot air and violating of WP:UNDUE. However, there are so many RS profiles, interviews and feature stories about Lawton in major media on the page, sourced to major media , that deletion is inappropriate.

- Keep - the subject is clearly notable. The issue of the promotional language is nothing that cannot be fixed. Ya sh ! 07:41, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
