Delete: as insufficiently notable in his own right. Nor does he derive notability for being the father of Albert Speer, although merging the articles is appropriate. Quis separabit? 19:49, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not notable in his own right. Notability is not inherited. Just a typical architect working with the styles of the day. --Dmol (talk) 23:42, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The German wikipedia has an article on him, they aren't slack on notability over there. I note also this book on his works.[1] It could be the article just needs improvement, ideally from an editor who can read German better than me.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 04:35, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: He designed a number of listed buildings (ref some of the German wikilinks). As a body of work, that may meet WP:ANYBIO#2, between the book on A.F. Speer and content in books about his son, it looks like there's enough out there to write a sufficiently comprehensive article, and on the assumption that the listed buildings are notable enough to appear in wikipedia (either individually or in aggregate), the article could/should function to link them. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 10:07, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Clearly passes GNG [2], [3], and [4] the nominator also nominated clearly notable 9/11 victims such as Madeline Amy Sweeney for deletion. Valoem ^talk ^contrib 05:40, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - not just notable for his son, the subject was a major architect of his day. Bearian (talk) 18:37, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - notable in his own right as an architect of significant works. That said, the article needs to be expanded. Engleham (talk) 04:08, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. German article has further citations, including a book on the father, that appear to establish notability. Fiachra10003 (talk) 23:21, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
