- Keep per WP:BIO - has two good sources already, and more could be found easily. Bearian (talk) 04:16, 18 March 2010 (UTC) There are over 70,000 Ghits to sort through, of which at least a few have to be good. Bearian (talk) 04:19, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Google news turns up lots of good stuff, see this search which is loaded with in-depth reliable source material. Several articles are behind paywalls or registration walls, but from just the abstracts its obvious that on the first page alone there are half a dozen or so unique sources that could be used to expand the current article, covering a wide range of subjects relating to his life. That the current article is essentially a stub isn't relevent here, due dilligence by the nominator would have turned up enough to establish that the article could be expanded with plenty of reliable, independent, and indepth sources. --Jayron32 17:47, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Snow/speedy keep. Per the above sources. Agree that it is incumbent upon nom to do a pre-nom check before bringing silly stuff like this.--Epeefleche (talk) 08:17, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
