Non-notable person. Only possible claim to notability is being a founding member of a fraternity and being "admitted to Miami University in Oxford, Ohio at the age of eighteen." No real evidence of notability, and no, I don't think that breathless felicitations from the fraternity count toward establishing notability. GrapedApe (talk) 02:43, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep At the risk of falling into the otherstuff trap, I'd point out that some of Sigma Chi's other founders have their own pages. However maybe he didn't do as much as these outside of the act of foundation, and there would be a case for saying that being listed in the Sigma Chi article (which he is) is sufficient. asnac (talk) 15:44, 23 December 2011 (UTC) Further comment - ah, now I see that one of the other founders has also been nominated. asnac (talk) 15:45, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- I've nominated all of them who do not have a serious claim to notability.--GrapedApe (talk) 15:16, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
